The Green Dragon is the end of the Hobbiton tour and a lovely place to kick back and relax over a beverage. There's plenty to see here and the attention to detail, as seen throughout Hobbiton, continues here. Don't forget your passport because without it they can't serve you your complementary beverage (unless you have an New Zealand ID) Just like the rest of Hobbiton, the Green Dragon will be a highlight of your trip.

Amazing experience!! I went there with my family and we all felt we stepped into another world! The place is exactly like the movie scenes from Lord of the Rings and we all felt like we were the movie characters, moving through the place. It really is like walking into a fantasy realm, the houses are all so small and looks like only dwarf or smurf can live inside. But surprisingly, they let us visit inside one of the houses and all the movie props were preserved so well! Everything was so lifelike and some of the props such as the cooking pot was shaking and even had steam blowing out. The fire place was real too, with real wood and real fire. At first i thought it was a fake fire made of paper but when i walked over and felt the heat, o realised it was a real fire!! It's definitely a must visit tourist spot, highly recommend!!

The best experience, couldn't be more impressed! Beautiful experience for LOTR fans, huge bucket list item having a beer at the Green Dragon! Staff were amazing, friendly and incredibly efficient. We were amazed to find that the entire banquet was cooked by a single chef, they did an amazing job and deserved the massive round of applause we gave him. We had 5 vegans in our group and enjoyed better food than at my wedding! All those with dietary restrictions were provided a huge plate of dinner plus the freedom to eat anything from the banquet table, except the meat. And a personal dessert platter! I've never felt more satisfied. Couldn't recommend this place more! Big love to all the team.

After an awesome Hobbiton tour, this was our final stop, and it was the perfect way to wrap up the experience. We were offered a complimentary drink with a choice of four options – three alcoholic and one non-alcoholic. I chose the alcoholic apple cider and the non-alcoholic ginger beer. Both were very refreshing and delicious, and they paired perfectly with the beautiful lake setting and the magical Hobbiton theme. A fantastic end to a memorable tour!

The Hobbiton tour ends at this place. The Green Dragon Inn with its thatched roof and wood interiors give vintage vibes. You get a free ale/ginger beer as part of the tour (you can also take the lunch or dinner package but better book those early). You can buy beer and food at the cafe. Note: The Inn is accessible only as part of the Hobbiton tour.

Fun final stop of the set tour where you can relax and drink like a hobbit. Gorgeous views of Hobbiton and lots of iconic photo places.

Part of our Hobbiton experience. It was nice to know the back story of how Hobbiton came to existence. We did a tour of the town and learned about the history from our guide. We got a Green Dragon Inn mug as souvenir and a complimentary drink at the inn.

Beautiful and wonderful architecture. I must say, I would spend a day relaxing at this place. With the tour, you are only welcomed here for only 20 minutes. You will get a choice of one drink among the four. There are tables and chairs inside as well as some tables outside. I chose ginger beer which is included in your admission fee.
