Just outside of Wellington, past Upper Hutt, is a hidden gem......a place so beautiful that words cannot do it sufficient justice. It's name is Kaitoke - although in recent years it has also become known as "Rivendell". Peter Jackson chose this special site in which to set the elvish kingdom in LOTR - a place of peace and tranquility, knowledge and wisdom, comfort and succour - and once you are there it is apparent why.
The green of the native bush and the sound of the river nearby make this a truly magical spot! With rivers to swim in, damns to visit, and stunning bush to wander in, alongside a large open area in which to pitch a tent*, there is something here for everyone!
So, as much as I hate to share a secret, here it is:
Kaitoke ! A little spot of heaven, and a large dose of tranquility, in Wellington/Middle Earth!
