Port Hills
The Port Hills are a range of hills in Canterbury, New Zealand, so named because they lie between the city of Christchurch and its port at Lyttelton. The Port Hills run approximately east-west along the northern side of Lyttelton Harbour, including a number of summits between 300 and 500 metres above sea level. Some consider the crater rim around the western end of Lyttelton Harbour, which runs largely north-south, to also be part of the Port Hills.

Lyttelton Harbour is one of two major inlets in Banks Peninsula, on the coast of Canterbury, New Zealand. The other is Akaroa Harbour. Approximately 15 km in length from its mouth to Teddington, the harbour was formed from a series of ancient volcanic eruptions that created a caldera, the steep sides of which form the Port Hills on its northern shore.
