The Hobbiton Movie Set is built on a picturesque private farmland near Matamata in the North Island of New Zealand. During the filming of The Hobbit trilogy, the set was completely rebuilt and can be seen as it appeared in the films. You can get the full Hobbiton experience in a fascinating guided tour.
The Green Dragon Inn is also now open and is a special feature of our tours. At the end of the tour, we'll visit the inn to relax, and enjoy a complimentary Hobbiton ale or other beverage.
