To be in such a place amazing. Just wish for more time.
Lovely reconstruction of the Green dragon inn from Tolkien Lord of the rings and the Hobbit film.
We only had a short time to spend there as it came at the end of our 2 hour tour.
From the movie to the shooting venue, it s so fond of, the frozen ginger beer in the bar, awesome
It is nice to visit this place during spring time, where flowers bloom at there best together with eye-refreshing green meadows!
Please watch the hobbit film before going to the hobbiton. Really nice place to visit
Evening tour with banquet is very worthwhile. Banquet food was delicious and presented beautifully.
None of the tables were able to finish all the food and dessert!
The guides were very funny and informative, spiced with many interesting stories from the film set and Tolkien lore.
Great beer. Love the fact you get a free one as part of the tour of Hobbiton. Great staff. Wonderful atmosphere. Could stay & drink here for ages if I was allowed.
Weeder ... I do not know a movie, but just go ... I wish you good day. The word peace is everywhere.
Felt like a kid in a candy shop. Awesome experience
So quaint and cozy. Excellent prices, very friendly staff and great beer. Coffee and soda for those who dont drink. Enjoy the fire and try on a costume or two.
If you get the chance, do the evening tour and dinner.
Beautiful. For Lord of the Rings fans a nostalgic feeling. We loved it.
This place was a pretty neat place. They only serve a few items in this place so do not come here thinking you will have a full meal here. I tried their meat pie and it was pretty good. I would recommend just waiting it out and eating elsewhere if possible though. The cool thing about this place is they have plenty of props you can take pictures with.
Greatest adventure in the world! I felt immersed into the land and the movie. I loved every second! The tour guides the food. Everything was outstanding. This is a must see type of place to visit.
It is very cozy. The ambiance is wonderful and feels great to eat a meat pie with a nice stout by the fire. Choices are limited though.
It is THE green dragon folks. Its awesomeness is beyond words. LOTR mania aside, this is a really nice play to relax after you explore the Hobbiton. You will get a free drink here as part of your tour, bur you can also purchase some food/drink.
Its the Green Dragon Inn! All part of the Hobbit world. Sample the special 'brew', can only be found in Hobbiton!!
Very cool! It's a little expensive, but for those who are fans it is worth it!
We went in autumn so not too busy, plenty of space to re-enact scenes from the film. Free drink with 5 choices inc non alcoholic. Felt authentic hobbit pub
Love all the decorations. Everything looks very handmade and detailed. I wish the tour gave us more time to enjoy the drinks and food. But you get one free drink and about 10 minutes to chuck it down your throat and rush over to your bus.
Super cute for photos and drinks (drinks can be colder).
A beautiful place that is mainly for the fans of Mr. tolkien's artwork and interesting place of pilgrimage. The whole tour is professionally done. After the set itself, there are groups that go on for a few moments, so it is not a free sightseeing tour by bus there is an interesting explanation of guides. For me, I can only recommend it despite the higher price.
Totally great .... as in the movie and delicious drinks
beautiful view! Now I will give you a beer at the end of the tour.
It's amazing how they have done this place up inside. The local ale and cider is pretty tasty too!
A part of Hobbiton, where food and drinks are served.
It is to live the Mr. of the rings, GREAT to travel the filming places, the story of the guide is to live all the situations of the movies, to be able to sit down and drink beer, it is to feel part of the cast. If you visit New Zealand you cannot leave without visiting this place.
wonderfull sceneries to enjoy , hope another movies in the making will be shoot here in hobbitton .
Absolutely fantastic! Loved all of Hobbiton, but it was so nice to have a cozy place to rest and to have a drink and snack before heading all the way back to Auckland. The food and drinks were actually very good, we loved the working fireplaces and the hobbit costumes. Can't wait to come back!
Very well done, feels like you have mourned to middle earth, great atmosphere beer hits the spot, wish it were publically accessible.
Simply amazing!! The whole set is lovely, full of details and special places, but the inn is the most! It is so like in the movies that you wouldn't be surprised if you found a hobbit sitting on a couch by the fireplace... And the dinner was 10/10, absolutely hobbit. Lots of delicious food accompanied with a good cider from the Shire. I wish I could live there permanently!!!
What a fitting end to a wonderful Hobbiton visit, with a lovely refreshing choice of an Amber Ale, Apple Cider, Stout or a delicious Gingerbeer.
Great atmosphere. Free drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) was a nice addition
I could have some lemba breads, but it was awesome anyway!
Spectacular building and structure. The atmosphere made one want to stay on and enjoy and relax. The beer was very nice, and I'm not much of a beer drinker.
One of my most favourite places in the entire world xo
Very nice restaurant to stay # delicious food # cozy atmosphere # feels close to the hobbits to be partying
Wonderful place. Everything so realistic, we spent a lot of time.
YEEEEEEESSSS!! BEST PLACE EVEEEER so good the beer was awesome the whole tour was legend - wait for it - dary!
The LOTR tour ends at the Green Dragon Inn. You'll be given an option of Apple Cider Beer or Ginger Beer (non-alcoholic). I went with the Ginger Beer, which was very tasty!
The entry fee of NZ $ 84 is not low for Hobbiton, but the facility is in absolutely perfect condition. The same goes for the green kite, of course. A drink is even included in the price. A must for all Tolkien fans. If you don't know the films and books, you should stay away from them and leave everyone else alone with the ridiculous bad reviews.
The Green Dragon Inn is one of the fantastic places to visit in the world. After our amazing Hobbiton tour, the tour guide took us for our free drinks here. Cause it was cold winter day, we felt so warm when we stepped into the Inn. It was really cosy...there was a fat lazy Persian cat lying on a couch by the warm fire place. Those mugs with our free drinks... All these are so familiar in the movies. Our yearly trip with loved ones, we are glad we manage to have it here.
Amazing attention to detail and a great place to enjoy a short rest at the end of hobbiton. Ginger beer is excellent as is the stout. Not to be missed.
Great, especially after rain and cold wind outside. Very cool venue. Staff welcoming and so was the fire.
Beautiful place.. They serve 4 drinks and they must be tried.
Ginger soda is cold but delicious. Cat by the fire seems so cozy
It was nice to go there but it's overpriced and I felt in a rush to see everything. So many groups before and after you.
"Free" upfront charge included in ticket price . disgusting beer
Excellent place. Free coffee and tea. They sell beer, muffins, cookies.
Part of the Hobbiton movie set. Just not as good as rest of tour.
If you take part in the tour, you automatically come to the Green Dragon at the end. You have 1/2 time to look around in peace, what to drink (a drink is included in the price, I recommend the Ginger beer non-alcoholic and very tasty) or something to eat for an extra charge.
Awesome. Feels like we are in hobbit movie. But please check the weather before you go. Summer or spring its the better time i guess. No rain.
