Pinehaven

Pinehaven is a suburb of Upper Hutt City in the lower North Island of New Zealand, established in 1927.

It is at the southern end of the city, within the pine covered hills east of Silverstream.

The hills of Pinehaven were first planted with their trademark pine trees in 1928 by Sir Francis Chichester and Mr G.D.M Goodwin.

Originally Pinehaven was a community of small baches where residents of Wellington city escaped to for weekends and holidays.

[3] During the December 1976 Wellington Storm, a state of emergency was declared at Pinehaven after slips blocked drains and streams, causing flooding and damage to properties.

Pinehaven has a library, which started in 1954 with a small collection of books kept in a resident's home.
