New Zealand Lord of the Rings Hobbit Village

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The filming locations of The Lord of the Rings in New Zealand are really dreamy. The most famous one is the Hobbiton, located in Matamata on the North Island. The whole village is so well maintained that it seems as if hobbits really live there, with colorful cottages, round wooden doors, chimneys and plenty of greenery. Walking in is like entering a movie set. In addition to the Hobbit Village, Glenorchy and Milford Sound in the South Island are also filming locations for The Lord of the Rings. The magnificent mountains, lakes, and primeval forests give it a complete Middle-earth feel! Whether you are a Lord of the Rings fan or not, you will be shocked by these natural beauties. You really must see them in person when you come to New Zealand!
