If you marvelled at Lord of the Rings scenery, this is the place to breath it in!
Amazing, unspoiled beauty, tranquility and serenity, where no road can take you, except for the river. The jet boat ride from Pipiriki takes you to The Bridge to Nowhere Lodge in 20 minutes. Another 15 minutes of the boat ride and 50 minutes walk in the enchanted forest will lead to the Bridge to Nowhere, which the time forgot. No roads, no mobile networks, just the nature and the River. Excellent guides and interesting stories. A beautiful lodge, with amazing views over the river from most bedrooms; clean and comfortable accomodation; great dinners, breakfasts and lunches; excellent service with a personal touch; huge farm with cute little lambs, piglets, deer, horses, ponies, emus, goats, chicken, ducks, geese, turkeys, peacocks, dogs and a cat. An ideal place to relax and rejuvenate. Just sit on the veranda and watch the river and the mountains - you can't get enough of this magnificent scenery.
