Description
Discover the real Middle Earth on the most picturesque private farmland near Matamata in the North Island of New Zealand, and enjoy a visit to the Hobbiton Movie Set Tour from The Lord of the Rings film trilogy in a fascinating two-hour guided tour. The set has been rebuilt permanently for filming of The Hobbit. Features include hobbit holes, The Green Dragon Inn, Mill, bridge and gardens.
All tours of Hobbiton Movie Set now include an interior Hobbit Hole™ experience, designed and crafted by the renowned creative teams behind The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit film trilogies. Located on Bagshot Row™, these Hobbit Holes offer an authentic glimpse into the charming dwellings of Hobbits going about their daily lives in the Shire™.
Mind your head as you wander and weave through the maze of rooms and hallways, all constructed with a Hobbit’s stature in mind. Each delicate stroke of a paintbrush has left intricate hand-painted details and carvings into the walls, complimented with a plethora of colourful hand-stitched linens and decorative flourishes throughout.
Hints of the inhabitants’ family lineage is seeded throughout, with heirlooms and trinkets from generations of Hobbits from yesteryear, a well-stocked pantry with all the fixings to cater for their seven daily meals, and a cracking hearth all give a peek into the lives these halflings lead…
There are spectacular views across to the Kaimai Ranges from the rolling green hills of the movie set, which is still a working sheep and beef farm.
The Shire Store (situated below The Shires Rest) features a number of souvenirs related to the films.
Relax and soak up the unique atmosphere with a cup of coffee or light meal in The Shires Rest Cafe. The cafe is also available for functions, conferences or other occasions.
