The New Zealand Army was contracted to build 1.5 km of road into the site and the initial set development. They brought diggers, bulldozers, loaders, trucks, rollers, graders and other heavy machinery to the site.
Barberry hedges and trees were brought in and gardens were nurtured throughout winter.
Thirty-seven hobbit holes were created with untreated timber, ply and polystyrene.
And at reasonable rates starting at two hundred New Zealand dollars a day for a tour and an overnight stay, this place is a deal, especially if you’re into the movie series. You can even buy a miniature version of the Bag End tree from the films, made especially for visitors to the site. Of course, even if you haven’t seen the films, like me, you can just take a deep breath and appreciate the surrounding landscape that is considered to be among the most lush and beautiful in the world.
