Deer Park Heights Queenstown NZ

Originally a Tourist wildlife experience from the 1960s the Deer Park Heights was closed to the public in 2009 but is still a mecca for picture shoots in the Queenstown Area.

Used for movies like Disney's The Rescue, George Lucas's The Willow, Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and more recently Disney's Pete's Dragon remake as well as other lesser known productions.


Lord of the Rings Tourists are still allowed landings on the famous tarn area as part of the local helicopter tour itinerary.


from the unpaved road to the top of the hill near the Korean Fort Movie Set a number of LotR locations can be found a place near the fort was also used for promotional shots of Gandolf.
