What all make this movie set such a popular and
fascinating place? Apart from the greenery and
beautiful ambience you will find 44 hobbit holes
reflecting the profession of the fictional
resident, the Mill, the double arch bridge and
the party tree. The front gardens and the
colorful doors create a charming view. Also you
will notice that the doors to each hobbit hole is
different and of various sizes. The different
hobbit holes were used depending upon the scenes
for an instance if the shot included a wizard
then a smaller door hobbit hole was used.
Similarly, while filming hobbits, larger doors
were used to make the actors appear smaller. The
Bag End oak tree above Bilbos house was not
natural as Jackson wanted to hand paint more than
300,000 leaves to create a perfect shot. At this
stunning location take photos at the door of
Bilbos house, Bag End, looking out over the
whole set to the hills in the distance. Remember
the birthday party of Bilbo where extras sipped
on custom nonalcoholic ale! You can sample the
ale as well along with some alcohol at the
Shires Green Dragon Inn. The tour ends here with
a drink at the inn! After the tour you can have
a snack or lunch at Shires Rest Café before
heading back towards Tauranga. During the return
you can sample honey products at Mossops honey as
well as enjoy the yummy Kiwi Ice cream. Along
with that you can have a look at the picturesque
McClarens Falls Park and check out the stunning
views from the Minden lookout. To make the tour
to magical world of the Hobbiton Movie Set from
Tauranga an enjoyable and hassle free one hiring
genuine tour guides is always advisable.
