Hobbiton New Zealand Movie Set Tour + Banquet Dinner

 
 

 
 
 
 
 
New Zealand is famously known as home of Middle-earth and the Hobbiton movie set tour and banquet dinner is definitely the best experience you can do in New Zealand if you're a hobbit or Lord of the Rings fan. Imagine being immersed in the set of where they shot Lord of the Rings, learning stories behind the films and having a full on Hobbit's dining experience at the Green Dragon Inn at the end of the night. That's exactly what we did on this episode. 
 
We wanted to take you along on the full Hobbit experience. Starting in Matamata we take you to the famous i-SITE visitor center which is specially designed just like a hobbit's borough. Matamata i-SITE Visitor Information Centre Address: 45 Broadway, Matamata 3400 Hours: Monday - Sunday 9am–5pm 
 
We also grab a quick bite to eat at the local legendary pub which funnily enough also has a Lord of the Rings theme running inside. Redoubt Bar & Eatery Address: 48 Broadway, Matamata 3400 Hours: Monday - Sunday 9am–1am After finishing snacking on Frodo's secret Pizza we head off to the main event. The Hobbiton Movie Set Address: 501 Buckland Rd, Hinuera, Matamata 3472 Hours: Monday - Sunday 9am–5:30pm 
 
Can't even begin to describe how amazing this experience is. We were surrounded by the Shire's luscious green, enchanting valleys and dramatic sceneries. Being able to see the external set where Bilbo, Sam and Frodo lived is a fan's dream come true. We opted for the full experience which included a dusk walk around the hobbit boroughs as well as dinner fit for a Hobbit at the Green Dragon Inn. 
 
 
It had actually been raining almost all day but we were blessed with sunshine just before we went on our tour! So lucky. We also met a bunch of lovely people during our super filling Hobbit feast - shout out to Keisha, Arron, James and Sven! :)
