The rock house set amidst grass and low shrubs is filled with original items donated by Tolkien fans from around the world but also with the personal possessions of the author of the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. The warm wooden beams arched over the massive fireplace dominate the house interior just like Tolkien described in his books.

Even a part of the author’s original manuscript is kept in this tiny abode. Since more and more Tolkien׳s and Jackson׳s fans are coming to New Zealand, Jackson has decided to turn the house into a museum, so “Hobbit House” has become an important feature in tourist guides.
