The Cheesemaker Hobbiton

The Cheesemaker's Hobbit Hole, Hobbiton Movie Set, Matamata, New Zealand. One of 44 different Hobbit Holes (the preferred dwellings of Hobbits in the Shire) preserved following the filming of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy 2000 and The Hobbit Trilogy 2011. The movie set is preserved in the middle of a large working farm (1250 acre sheep and beef farm). During summer months the lush green Hobbiton is watered twice daily to maintain an emerald green look that contrasts so much to the dry adjacent farmland. A dedicated team of gardeners and handymen/women maintain the site all year round.
