Don't be stupid, it's the shire! If you miss this then you need to rethink how you vacation/holiday. They give you some pretty awesome behind the scenes facts on this specific setting from the movies. Oh, and you get a free taste of some hobbit ale/cider on the tour so that's awesome, right?

Absolutely amazing with great drinks and food. Really good to have at the end of the tour with a free drink. If you're passing by or heard about this place and are a huge Lord of The Rings/ Hobbit fan then it is a must.

Personally it was the highlight of my trip to New Zealand

Amazing visit to Hobbiton .Very refreshing chilled drink in pottery cups at the inn .Only disappointment was the tacky and expensive souvenirs at gift shop . Maybe use ideas from Hobbiton such as pottery mugs and handcrafted things people would be willing to pay for . A great day !

A life time experience. We made our booking through New Zealand inter city bus service. Ole was our tour guide in the hobbiton movie set. He made the whole experience really captivating and interesting by telling us back stage stories and how the director made the whole set more real and visually awesome for the movie audience.

It's coming from a person who has not seen the movies and I still enjoyed it. They have maintained the property well. Beer is alright - they give you like 200ml so don't expect much. Food is alright - nothing to rave about. The property though is beautiful and quite authentic. A must do.

Getting to Hobbiton and Green Dragon Inn was a dream come true.
The place is so authentic and fantastic, so you might believe that you are actually in the Lord of the Rings. Even the beer which is brewed there is so unique as the whole experience. The beer specifically is brewed and sold only on the set, so it all also adds to the being in the moment. I absolutely recommend to try and buy absolutely anything that you wish as this is completely worth it

Beautiful setting. It'll set you back $84 NZD for the problem to get to buy food there, but the food isn't over-priced and you get an included beverage. Expect to only spend 20 minutes here. It's picturesque and beautiful though.

This is the iconic pub from the LotR movies, beautifully created and well preserved. Their drinks are what you would expect - ale and cider, plus ginger beer. The ambience makes you feel like you could see a hobbit walk in the door anytime.
We had booked the 'Hobbit Feast', which was everything you could hope for! The dishes were hot, plentiful and beautifully displayed! The service was wonderful, and the hosts were great! Highly recommended!

What a nice place! Unfortunately we had only 15 minutes time for one free drink and a meal (which you have to buy by yourself - that's okay). I really would have enjoy this place for a longer time but while this booked tour it wasn't possible. Very tasty apple cider and Snacks (Cheese-filled roll, Muffins, Cookies) and a really nice tour guide, too. :)
