A popular attraction is the Hobbiton Movie Set – famed for hosting The Shire in “The Hobbit” and “The Lord Of The Rings” international blockbuster films. You can see the beautiful Bag End of Middle-Earth in all its glory with a guided tour of the set, and the picturesque property it was hosted on. You’ll see the rich depth and attention to detail Peter Jackson and his team put into this set, and see why it remains such a famed destination for many international tourists and New Zealand locals alike.
Each day, the Hobbiton tour departs from the local Shire’s Rest Cafe, in Matamata.
It’s ideal to book your tour ahead of time, to make sure of availability.
