Te Motu Kairangi / Miramar Peninsula

New Zealand

The Miramar Peninsula (Māori: Te Motu Kairangi, officially Te Motu Kairangi / Miramar Peninsula) is a large peninsula on the southeastern side of the city of Wellington, New Zealand. It is located at the entrance to Wellington Harbour, in Wellington's eastern suburbs. According to Māori legend, it was formed at the same time that the taniwha Whaitaitai beached at nearby Hataitai as he tried to escape the confines of the harbour. It contains the large suburbs of Miramar, Maupuia, Seatoun and Strathmore Park and several smaller suburbs.
