The two walk-in hobbit homes were beautifully designed and my family just loved it. The amount detail that had gone into creating them was exceptional. The tour guide was helpful and funny and gave us an excellent tour of the place and it was quite educational. Finally ending the tour with a complementary drink was also a highlight, while their café inside the hobbit village had good food at reasonable prices. Would love to see some hobbits walking around next time I visit and maybe some activities to do to get a feel for the hobbit life style

As I’m not a huge *Lord of the Rings* fan, I was a bit sceptical. But I was absolutely delighted with the visit. It’s a beautiful site, designed and maintained with great attention to detail. The guide recounted stories from the filming with great enthusiasm, and we had plenty of time for questions and photos. We highly recommend it! Please keep up the good work!

We had a wonderful guide Natalie who made the whole experience wonderful. She had so much information and knowledge and gave us plenty of time to take photos and explore the village. As someone who has difficulty walking long distances the pace was very comfortable and it did not feel like 2 and a half hours of walking and plenty of stops along the way made it extremely doable. Thanks for a great day out. Five stars

The tour of the film set was fantastic. Everything is really well-maintained and very well organized. We were also incredibly lucky with the weather, and we took some wonderful photos. It's definitely a must-see for fans of "The Lord of the Rings" or "The Hobbit" when visiting New Zealand. Even for those who haven't seen the films, it's absolutely worth seeing because of the unique scenery! Greetings from Bruno
