Pelorus Bridge Scenic Reserve Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Between Blenheim and Nelson, a small bridge spans the Pelorus River, which sits a protected area of natural beauty, some of the more accessible pristine stretches of the Marlborough region. The forest is located within the reserve. Peerus Bridge is one of the important filming locations in Peter Jackson's film "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug". The Peerus River area where it is located contains many elements of Middle-earth. Tourists can also experience the wonderful feeling of using a wooden barrel as a kayak like in the movie. During the kayak trip, you will also pass through various waterfalls, creeks and filming locations, accompanied by tour guides. . You can also spot numerous native birds along the way, such as New Zealand pigeons, bellbirds, honey sparrows and dovetails. It's lush and wooded to give you the joy of the jungle.

Lovey walk in the scenic reserve
This was quite an impressive bridge and circuitous walk, a great break on our car trip. We followed one of the paths through the reserve which was mostly easy to follow
I wasn't quite sure about leaping into a river which was flowing rather fast with large pebbles underfoot and that was sure to be cold. But I'm glad I did. A very refreshing experience.
At least stop at the bridge and watch people jumping off the rocks. Two large car parks with toilets. There are walks fromm the xar parks, but didn't have time.

Stunning spot
Just beautiful. Amazing walks, great cafe, and swimming holes. It is very well sign posted and the amenities are spotless. A must do in Marlborough.
Refreshing swim
