Oaklands is a southern suburb of Christchurch, New Zealand. The area is predominantly residential.
When Halswell House was purchased by Peter Watson (1869?–1947), he renamed it Oaklands after the trees lining the driveway. A subsequent owner, Karl Scott (1910–1997) subdivided the property about 1960.[3][4]
