Mairehau is a
suburb of
Christchurch,
New Zealand. It is located four kilometres north of the city centre, close to the edge of the urbanised central city area. Much new development is being carried out on the northern edge of Mairehau.
The suburb was named in
1916 after Mrs Mairehau Hutton, on account of her father Arthur Gravenor Rhodes being a major local property owner. The name Mairehau is derived from the New Zealand shrub mairehau,
Phebalium nudum, named after
Maire an invisible Maori mist maiden.
