Wouldn’t it be Cool to Live in a Hobbit Town?

·

The Hobbit scenes from Lord of the Rings Movie Trilogy were filmed on a hillside lot in Matamata, New Zealand. Now the little Hobbit Homes have become a tourist attraction, but also they became homes for some of the sheep from a nearby farm. The interiors of these white structures were never finished because the scenes shot inside were actually filmed on a studio set.” – Freshome

      I’ve not seen any. Would love to see more real hobbit homes built though.

        The Extended DVD version of LOTR Fellowship of the Ring has lots of drawings & photos of Bilbo’s house including a brief view of the plan in the Appendices (special features disks)

    I want to see what they look like inside? How big are they? It looks like they are built into the hill side. Can I get information on these homes?

      They were made for the movie as a set – so sadly not much on the inside.

    when i visited the site a few years ago, you could only go in one hobbit hole, Bilbo/Frodo’s hole, (even though there are quite a few scattered over the hillside, the rest were just facades) and there was enough room for about 5 or 6 people to stand hunched over. kids love it though, just the right size for them!
