Hobbiton
Redoubt & Hobbiton
Located just a short 15-minute drive from The Redoubt, the Hobbiton Movie Set is one of New Zealand’s most iconic tourist attractions. Visitors from all over the world come to experience the magic of Middle-earth, exploring the lush pastures of the Shire, home to hobbits and the charming, picturesque village featured in the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies.
During the filming of these beloved movies, many cast and crew members enjoyed the warm hospitality and vibrant atmosphere at The Redoubt Bar & Eatery. Our establishment has become a popular stop for both fans of the films and general travelers, offering a unique experience that complements the enchantment of Hobbiton.
