Something quite exciting has been happening at Hobbiton Movie Set over the past 9 months, and for the first time ever, visitors to New Zealand's iconic attraction can now venture beyond the door and explore a real-life hobbit hole... behold, Bagshot Row!

I've had the absolute pleasure of documenting the new build, and seeing the amount of work, care, and love that has gone into this project has been awe-inspiring.

Fans from all over the world will be flocking to New Zealand to explore a humble hobbit's home! Here are a few of my completed images to get you excited!

    Looks to be some sort of gaming table in the front there. Any clues to the game?

    I didn't know Hobbits had electric lighting. Cool.

    None of these pictures look life-size. They look doll house sized, I'll believe it when I see an object of identifiable size , banana for scale, to believe it.

    It's for the frequent dwarf visitors.

    Under-counter lighting was mentioned frequently in the novels. I love this, however.

    They're not dwarves, they're hobbits. Dwarves may visit, however.

    Ummmm... How tall are you? Remember Gandalf's head-bump.

    Just think of Gandalf stooping in Bilbo's home in the movie.

    Love this hook, and the window handles--all look hand forged.

    The details here are all so well done, with the furniture looking well-used rather than brand new.
