Nestled on a pastoral farm near Matamata, this meticulously preserved film set brings Middle-earth to life exactly as it appeared in Peter Jackson's trilogy, complete with charming hobbit holes and the iconic Green Dragon Inn. Guides lead you through rolling meadows and into intricately decorated Shire homes, sharing behind-the-scenes stories while the landscape itself feels plucked straight from Tolkien's imagination.
