Matamata, Hobbiton




The filming of Lord of The Rings trilogy has brought money and tourists to the small town of Matamata. Whilst many tourists visit this attraction, it appears the main age group that visits is families and teenagers, although all ages are welcome. Whilst visiting the farm I learnt little snippets about the owners of the farm, and how the movie came to being filmed at Matamata. The owners have built this attraction up, and now it is not just an ex movie set, there is a little farm to allow tourists that are not from farms the opportunity to partake in some little farming activities. Whilst on the tour of the set, the tour guide, explained about the new film that is going to start being filmed at the end of the year.
