Pelorus bridge Havelock is where the scenes from the dwarfs in barrels was filmed for the second movie The Hobbit-The Desolation of Smaug.
Set between stunning lush native bush and above a crystal clear river is Pelorus Bridge.
This enchanting scenic reserve is a great starting point for easy walks through the forest to a gorgeous waterfall and rock pool. Surrounded by the sounds of the native birds singing – you are likely to spot Tui, Bellbirds, Wood Pigons and fantails playing in trees.
Swim or kayak in the crystal-clear waters, just as the Dwarves did when they were being filmed for scenes in the ‘The Hobbit’.
A little bit of middle earth magic you don’t want to miss!
