The Green Dragon Inn Reviews

This was way better than I expected. The food was exceptionally well prepared and flavorful.

Once in a lifetime experience, with great dark ale.

The dinner tour was amazing! The food was plentiful and spectacular. The stout was very good, as well as all the other drinks. The night was clear and all the stars were out for the lantern lit stroll back. Book well ahead, because this is not to be missed.

Part of Hobbiton and this place has to be on everybody's bucket list. Amazing

I had a cider l and a feast while I enjoyed the nostalgia

Excellent cider. Tour very good. Could almost be a hobbit

An awesome venue, like something from medieval times.

We did the evening lantern tour and the food was amazing! The experience of getting to be in the Green Dragon Inn and eating like a Hobbit was a dream come true!

Cosy, welcoming and warm.

The beer only comes in halves though, hobbits have yet to figure the whole pints thing out!

Worth every penny invested! They serve a wonderful dinner in an unforgettable setting!

Photographed and no electricity
Do n t miss the one who likes the Lord of the Rings ~

This place was so cool to see in person. I highly recommend it.

The Stout ale is fantastic. At the end of the Hobbiton movie set tour, having an ale was so much fun

Beautiful just beautiful. I will strongly recommend you to go there.

Beautiful wooden post & beam carved inn. Supreme stout!

Beautiful architecture. Feels like we're inside a hobbit hole. Round doors, windows and fireplace

Amazing place to visit. So magical and amazing to experience if your a big fan of lotr and the hobbit.

Since I was a kid I watched the lord of the rings and once I got to the hobbiton movie set I learned a lot more than I expected so I highly recommend going there at least once it's worth it.

A nice end to the tour, but you were rushed through for the next group. The stout and cider are nice but you don't get a chance to enjoy them.

Wonderful venue, friendly/professional staff.
Delicious brew for the brave 'n' true.
At it's best in winter.

Evening tour and feast well worth the extra. The 2 guides were amazing.

We went as part of the Hobbiton Movie Set Tour which comes with a complimentary drink! I'm pretty sure you have to do the guided tour or YOU SHALL NOT PASS to get into the inn. Anyway, there were 4 different types of drinks we could order (3 alcoholic, 1 non-alcoholic). We got the cider which was swell! There were some snacks too, but nothing substantial.

The space was pretty cool too! Definitely looks like the Green Dragon Inn in the movies. The lake is also right outside so you can sit outside to drink your beer!

Really cool -- I wish I could just grab a book or my laptop and stay all day.

Nice place to visit if you are Lord of the rings or Hobbiton fan.
Pick ups from Rotorua are also available.
If you are planning to board from Rotorua
My advice will be to book it as early as possible

One of my dreams became true, drinking new zelander stout beer at the Green Dragon. The best!!!

The ending of the tour, a good way to relax, have a beer and enjoy the interior of this hotel. Right on the lake front. Can only be accessible by going on the tour which itself is worth it, if you love lord of the rings, or want a different movie experience.

Great place to visit. Awesome atmosphere. Loved the light ale and open fire!!

Great little pub (albeit just a part of the movie set, not a full selection of beers and liquors). If I could build my own pub this is exactly what it would look like.

If you like LOTR then you will love this place. Pity tour only gives 30 mins there, so we are joing back to do the Banquet Tour for sure !!

Great beer, great location and some nice food served too. Toilets are available inside and a free drink is available on entry ! When doing the tour of hobbiton you will get 30 minutes here at the end of the set tour to chill out here, have a drink and take in the view of hobbiton across the lake.

Fun unique experience, best part of the hobbiton tour.

Did not get any food or drinks here after our tour of Hobbiton but it was great to sit around the fire with their lovely kitty while we waited for our bus.

Highly recommend this place. Great craftsmanship can be seen from inside the pub. With bespoke real ales and cider produced locally. Could quite easily spend a good few hours here in front of the big log fire!

Habitun is a very interesting place. We take pictures crazy because it is so interesting

It is wonderful to live the experience of knowing this village of Hobbits. Many details in each place, make everything magical. The tour takes 2 hours and is very busy therefore it must be scheduled in time.

Look like in the movie. But you can not go inside of one Hobbit-Holes(no building inside)

Part of the hobbiton experience. Dinner and evening tour.

Built as a set for the Hobbit movie this pub continues as a tourist attraction.

Though not much.....but would still say....a good experience and kids enjoyed.

Such a cosy and quaint place for a drink. The non alcoholic ginger beer is to die for! Food is cheap too!! Perfect way to end a Hobbiton movie set tour! Make sure to check out the toilets they are magnificent!!

A very realistic medieval inn. The dark ale was quite nice and the buffet lunch experience was awesome. It is served inside a pavilion style tent with lanterns and flowers, where the old style theme is extended. The detail that goes into the design of the inn decor is well appreciated. Lunch: Lots of veggies and meals to choose from. Gluten free bread and desserts would have been appreciated.

At the end of the tour we enjoyed an ale and delicious steak and ale pie! Green Dragon is lovely and servers very nice.

Loved it! Staff are excellent. Especially beautiful at night.

Great tour. A little pricy for what it was really. But good experience and worth the effort.

Great experience, since the 50 entrance do not hurt. A very interesting tour of the Hobbiton.
The conclusion beer was lukewarm.

Had a drink by the fire place in shire's outfit, felt like a hobbit for a moment, an unforgettable adventure

I was amazed and both the Food and Drink were great

Very cool place to get a beer and scones. Great end to a great tour!

You will get the feel and experience of how it was in the movie

The Hobbiton Evening Banquet was absolutely amazing! The spread of baked chicken, grilled sausages, lamb and beef, and the variety of vegetables made the entire Hobbiton experience unique. The custom brew of beers and cider were truly the cherry on top of the whole meal. Not to mention the level of detail taken to bring the Green Dragon to life....it's just astonishing!

Such a cool little place at the end of the Hobbiton tour

amazing feeling being in a place that you only seen in a movie. it was lovely

They have a really good cider and delicious food :)

Had a good tour but thought the staff should be in costume in the Green Dragon. SHIRES rest should sell alcohol & for such a tourist destination it seem strange that the shop should be short on sizes in the Tshirts but I had a good time the staff were very friendly and helpful.

When you enter the bar, you will feel like in the movie. They serve you free beer or apple cidar. The staff are very friendly. You can also buy some snacks such as bagels, sandwichs, and pie. they also lend you umbrella when it is raining.

This was one thing on my bucket list and what a great experience. As a bug fan of the Lord of the rings trilogy and the Hobbit movies a must see thing

A definite must see if you're travelling this way. Great guide throughout the tour. Was keen to go for the dinner but booked out - make sure you book months in advance. The craft beers at the end of the tour was a great way to end the tour.

Great place, beer and atmosphere really sets the scene

The dinner was truly a Hobbit's feast on par with the movie.

Very unique place, a must see if you are touring NZ

The jewel of hobbiton! The feel of the green dragon is nothing short of magical.
