Our destination of Matamata, commonly known as ‘Hobbiton Movie Set’ since its inception as the original setting of Peter Jackson’s world-famous “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit”- trilogies, lies in an idyllic landscape with sheep farms and wonderful views towards the Kaimai Ranges in the east. During the 2-hour tour of the Hobbiton Movie Set, you will learn all about how this location was chosen as the Hobbiton Movie Set (which is an exceptional story in itself!), how it was created and which scenes were filmed here. You get to see the Hobbit holes and Bag End, the Green Dragon Inn, the Mill and the famous Party Tree.
