A business meeting took me down to Matamata last week. It was great to see this provincial town buzzing with visitors coming to tour the Hobbiton movie set. The local farm used to film parts of The Hobbit movies as well as The Lord of the Rings is now open to the public.
The Matamata I-Site has been transformed into a Hobbit House, including a round green door.
Clearly this is a community celebrating its fifteen minutes of fame, and good on them!
