Kaitoke Regional Park

Kaitoke Regional Park, located just outside of Wellington, New Zealand, is renowned for its role as Rivendell in Peter Jackson’s ‘The Lord of the Rings.’ Beyond its cinematic fame, the park is an ancient rainforest filled with towering native trees and meandering rivers. The lush, verdant landscape provides a serene setting for visitors to escape the city. Today, guests can explore the forest trails, enjoy the tranquil riverside, and immerse themselves in the natural beauty that has captivated both filmmakers and nature enthusiasts alike.
