I loved the cider and hated the ale, but I'm not much of a beer person. The staff were very supportive of my love for hobbits and let me take many photos. They also took pictures for me. It's a cozy place that definitely lived up to my expectations.

Surreal! Wish you got longer to enjoy this amazing pub from the set, but I guess if you have the money you can go for one of the evening banquets there :) . wish we had a replica of this pub in the uk!

It is a great experience to sit here, drink a mug of beer or cider and know what the location is. The Green Dragon is probably one to one based on the film set, but has become really beautiful. Convince yourself

A good add on for the tour, but not thr best in terms of a buffet lunch. I would suggest skipping this and eating at the Cafe at home base, the food there was excellent, in particular the breakfast stack.

If you like the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit movies, then there's no better place than Hobbiton, and no better place to eat than The Green Dragon Inn. The food was amazing, and you feel that you've stepped right into the pages of Tolkien's work.

A must visit place if you are at the North Island of NZ. Well maintained Hobbiton Village and worth to visit. My only advise is, please avoid to bring along the baby stroller and the movie set is not suitable for wheelchair person.

Eat like a hobbit! Delicious food with a wide selection of salads, sides and meat for the buffet. Desserts were plenty and sweet. Complimentary coffee and tea are also available. And a free glass of alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink for visotors. Downside, it's a bit rushed if you're in a tour. No time for second breakfast?

Unfortunately you will have to pay $79 to go on the Hobbiton Tour to get access to the Green Dragon but it is a fantastic building inside and out with a massive green dragon carving above the bar.

A must for any self respecting LOTR fans. Part of the only remaining set built for the films the tour round Hobbiton concludes with a complimentary drink of a choice of cider, beers or if preferred coffee (I was driving). It is an opportunity to look out over the lake, mill etc and get a feel for what it might be like living in a Hobbit Hole. Have now been twice & would go again. (It's just a pity New Zealand is so far away)!

It's a 2012 reconstruction of the original they burned for the Frodo scene in Galadriel's mirror. It's the end of the Hobbiton tour and it's cool. It has details of ads etc that makes it immersive.
