Pelorus Bridge is a locality centred on the bridge over the Pelorus River between Havelock and Rai Valley on SH 6, the main road between Blenheim and Nelson, in New Zealand. The native forest around the bridge is conserved as the Pelorus Bridge Scenic Reserve. The bridge has played an important part in the area's history, but today the focus (especially for visitors) is the area's scenery.
A campground at Kahikatea Flat on the south side of the Pelorus River with toilets, showers and kitchen, and another on the north side with toilets, showers and power. Bookings and enquiries at the cafe.
