Found out we are moving to the Auckland area at the end of August for a job opportunity my wife landed (we are from the US). Extremely excited. Looks beautiful and from what I have heard the people are friendly. We plan on living in Stonefields as of now. Keep up the good videos, I really enjoy them. Cheers!
Hey mate 😊👋 nice stone fields used to be a quarry but now it's a nice suburban area which is reasonably close to the city. End of August is also lovely weather. Hope you all enjoy your time here and thank you so much for watching our videos 😊❤
Wow, this is such an amazing place we love the movies and books. Editing and visuals are soooo good Yen and Peter. Thank you so much for sharing this. I really really enjoyed this. If I ever make it to NZ this is a must!
For anyone who loves the movies and books I think this is mindblowing. It's so cool seeing all the details of the shire from the vegetable garden to the smoke from the chimney. You will be happy from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave then you'll be sad cause you'll wish you were still there. That's certainly how I feel 😂❤
I enjoyed the cinematic fantasy movie vibe in some of the B-roll. Good to see that the food was good too. Themed restaurants don't have a good track record.
😂👍 I was struggling to find the perfect song to wrap up the episode and after long for days it finally popped up with this new one on epidemic I was so relieved 😊👌
Pahahaha I can visually imagine you in the bus screaming Sundai 😂😂😂 the smoke things quite easy to do you just needa get the effect from UA-cam usually on green screen and then cut out the green screen part and wala you got a cool as effect 😂👍
Loved the episode guys! We miss that spot... We did the same trip, just not the banquet portion. We did taste some of that ginger beer. I miss the lamb and that banquet looks amazing, and yes we enjoyed it!
Yo guys after this tour I wanted to go right back. Loved it a lot from the moment you step into the movie set till you leave it's like a dream. The green dragon inn is hopefully something you and Ash can enjoy together one day it's an amazing spot 😊👍 thanks for watching guys have an awesome week ahead!
Yo guys yeah North island has so much awesome stuff. Can't recommend it enough. The hobbiton tour is definitely a must visit though. Glad y'all enjoyed it 😁👍
The hobbit houses are so cool right! We were thinking the whole time that a hobbit themed hotel would be so awesome 😁👍 thank you for watching glad you enjoyed the video ❤
Hi auntie 😊👋 that's exactly the vibe we wanted to give with this episode. To bring the audience with us along the journey and experience it all with us. Glad you enjoyed it ❤
Dassssss my awesome Krew of Two! You 2 literally embody the Goodness of New Zealand that we get to enjoy with our eyes & that continues to quench the thirst in our Soul's from whatever part of the globe we reside in. Im so damn proud to be a Kiwi & I can't w888 to come back home. .. As always.. an avalanche of Love, Light & Blessings bein sent your guy's way. 🤗🤗❤🖤
Sending or love right back liv 😊❤❤❤ hope you and your family have a wonderful n safe long weekend. Yen and I are extremely proud kiwis so we're super happy you think we're repping NZ right 😁🇳🇿 right now yen's at the rugby watching the blues game while I just ironed work shirts. There's some ammo for ya 😂😂😂😂
Peter and Yen yeaaa the proud Kiwis!! Oh mannn did you just mention the Blues?? 😨😨😨🤣🤣🤣🤦🤦🤦... Pete love the ironing label on you Bro it suits you 🤗🤗.. blessed weekend guys & Keep on Being O for Osome!!! 🖤❤🤗🤗💃
As a Kiwi who's been living in Australia since 1984.....you guys have really made me homesick!!! I toured NZ for 4 years in the lates 60's, early 70's as a musician and loved it but then headed over here and ended up in the software industry....no complaints. But now in my 60's and after watching your VLOGS, I'm definitely planning a trip with my partner (whose never been to NZ) hopefully in Spring 2021. I've pointed her to your VLOGS and she is stunned by NZ's varied beauty. Aussies don't have a clue about rivers, lakes and actual mountains and their sheep aren't white either :-)). Miss NZ. Loved this edition - your editing, music choice and production was fantastic. Love the beautiful vibe you two have as a couple and as presenters!
Hi Greg 👋🙂 Happy new year! Oh how wonderful! Best of luck being able to return to NZ in Spring 🤞 that would've been amazing touring New Zealand for 4 years! You must've gone to all the small towns as well and covered tons of hidden gem kinda places. NZ truly is a beautiful country isn't it? 🥰 Thank you for sharing our vlogs with your partner. Hope she'll love it when you bring her here. Will you be taking her to both North and South Island? 🙂
I didn't realize Lord of the Ring was filmed in NZ. I was a big fan of the series. Food looks amazing! Love all the fried dish offerings haha. Set tour plus banquet sounds like the option to go for. It's awesome to see how they preserved the movie set. I guess it's quite lucrative for them too. Family style banquet seems very fitting for the theme and the type of food served too. Great video guys!
Yeah bro Peter Jackson the director is a proud kiwi and shoots a lot of scenes from all the lord of the ring and hobbit movies from home. I think if you're a fan and you've made it all the way to New Zealand already you have no other options but the banquet tour 😁👍
Hahaha thanks Jethro. We just can't seem to make up our minds up about queenstown. Really wanna go but it's expensive 😅 do have a special south island episode coming out soon though 😁👌 have a safe and awesome weekend!
WHAT?! So... you're telling me fairytale places are real??? And they are in NZ? I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan... binge-watched the whole series twice as a teen and one more time last year haha. The more I watch your channel, the bigger my bucket list is growing 🙌
Hahaha me too! Watched the movies so many times. Always loved these adventure fantasies. Brings back happy memories as a kid playing RPG games like baldur's gate. Geeky stuff is the best 😂👍
Whoa!! That banquet is amazing! We like that is limited to a certain number of people. Thank you so much for the tour. We always wanted to see what it looked like and forget to look up videos.
It's the shire! That's so amazing guys what an awesome place to visit. We're both huge LOTR nuts, we would have just been geeking out the whole time! Awesome video as always guys!
Peter becomes a poet in there. Oh that lamb shack looks freaking amazing! So soft Food looks great! Guys great editing! Love it 😊 Those books have made a huge impact to this society, its so good to see a place like this where you can totally immerse on all of it. Great video
Pahahaha I don't think anyone has picked up that line is actually from the hobbit movie. It's a great line from the man bilbo himself 😂 the food was extremely satisfying ❤ really awesome experience especially for fans of the movie/ books
panko!! yumm - Hobbiton the amazing place where i got booked by the cops for speeding haha XD..on the way there.. was def a very expensive trip from auckyland.. :P - but we didnt do the tour last time, we just went in like hans solo :> me and helmi.. also when we saw the pictures it brings memories when me and helmi was fatter HAHAH - it seems like after dark there is barely anyone there :O wow.. - i had the beer too :D - man that feast def like how they do it in LOTR :D haha -
Yo guys y'all should totally do the feast it's really an amazing experience. I really wanna go back and do it again it was that awesome. We went during autumn so I imagine it's a lot quieter but still the is fully booked months in advance. Yeah speeding tickets 😂 don't speed bro
Waattttttttttttttttttttt WTF THAT COLORGRADING THOSE ZOOMS 😭😭😭WHAT CANT YALL DO THIS LOOKS LIKE A FULL ON FREAKING PROFESSIONAL MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!! Nice job with the (green dragon inn?) BROLL
Hahaha Sundai you're too nice to us thank you so much for the compliments. This was the first time we attempted to make something cinematic 😊✌ Hopefully we can make some more like this in the future 😎 green dragon inn provided the perfect backdrop though gonna be hard to top 😅
The smoke effect was so Good!! I wanna stop off in Hobbiton when I come to Nz. New Zealand is so green. Love the way you’ve edited this video. The shots you captured feels like an actual movie. The banquet looks so good esp the Pav👌🏽
Gen! What are you filing the void that was left behind by Got? You definitely 100% needa go hobbiton I think you'll really enjoy it. Such a magical place and the banquet was delicious! 🤤
Beautiful people, beautiful story telling and beautiful editing... damn.. how perfect can y'all really be! What have you done?! This makes me want to rewatch those 3hr long movies!
Thanks leah! We did have an epic time in hobbiton it was one of my favorite activities in New Zealand yet. I do really love those movies though. I think if you can the banquet is 100% worth it. Such an unforgettable experience.
Hey guys, I just found your channel and this is the first video I clicked on because New Zealand is on my list same as the Hobbiton! Love the video, you two are so vibrant people, it made the video a real joy and adventure! New supporter here from the UK :)
Hi Karina 😊👋 welcome to the community and thanks for dropping a comment. Hope you do make your way over to New Zealand it's an amazing country Yen n I have both lived here most our lives 😁👍
😂😂 Marie your bucket list keeps growing! We had a blast at the movie set. Keen to go back sometime it was just the best. Hey hope all your training is going well Marie. I've been contemplating putting together an episode about how a food vlogger stays in shape but not sure lol 🤔😅
Peter and Yen I think that’s a really good idea because after I start ticking off some of the places you guys have suggested I’m going to have to do more workout at home lol
wow! nice tour! and of course, food had to be present! loved the movie set! brings back good memories! Love how you put the letterbox when showing the cinematic of the movie set! we are doing a Game of Thrones route here in Northern Ireland. Pretty epic!! Goood video!
O wow GOT tour would be so epic too! Yen and I both love that series so sad it's over now though 😥 Ireland is definitely on our bucket list of places to visit ❤
Hi Troy, glad you enjoyed this video! It's a pretty magical experience. Will you do the banquet dinner too? It's a little pricey but definitely worth it if you really want to immerse in the experience 🙂👍 Have an amazing time!
This is so cool! I've heard that the whole Lord of the rings tourism is quite big there but didn't know the actual set was there like that...and the restaurants look really fun.
Dude such a cool experience definitely one of the coolest things we've done so far. But I'm also a massive lord of the rings fan. The green dragon inn was just icing topping off a wonderful tour 😁
Such a lovely episode guys the Nature Park is so Magical and green feels like somewhere in UK...the place is perfect for me I ll dress like 2 m tall Viking haha Myrism could be hobbit)) cheers guys have a wonderful Sunday
😂😂😂 Dave mate I can so picture you being a viking in this land of little people but you'll just needa be careful remember the story of David and goliath. Only this one is David and myriam ❤
New subscriber here!! This all truly looks right out of the movies, incredible! What a fun place to explore. It looks like even the food fits the theme, love it!
Hello hello 😊👋 thanks for joining the community. Had an awesome time at hobbiton and it literally was right out of the movies 😁👍 food was delicious to boot 😍
OMG this brings us so many memories to the TLOTR movie. Definitely this is in our bucket list to visit Hobbiton. Ony is a BIG FAN of TLOTR and she read all the books 😍 Thanks guys for showing us around Hobbiton 👍
I'm a huge fan of lord of the rings too! In fact I love everything that's set in those fantasy medieval era's. Even cooler was that so much if it was filmed right here in New Zealand 🇳🇿❤ really loved this tour one of the best things we've done ever wanna go back 😊👍 Peter
😅 yeah definitely on the pricier side but stuff in New Zealand is generally like that. I think that this experience is definitely worth the money though. Love it so much wanna do it again 😊👍
O yeah the food at the banquet was really tasty. And the whole experience is just magical. Make sure you book in advance if you want to do the banquet though it's super popular. Thanks for stopping by 😊👋
We had the great good fortune to tour NZ back in 2005 and stumbled upon the OLD Hobbiton set. It cost us nearly 100NZ$ back then and we didn't get even a bagel!! :) I still remember the curmudgeon who drove our bus around...his name was Horndog, I kid you not! Your video tours are awesome!! Thank you!!!
Thank you glad you enjoyed the episode 😊✌ did something a lil different for us with that cinematic thing glad it turned out ok 😁👌 a tad expensive but totally worth it I wanna go back 😁
Hobbiton movie set is an amazing place definitely lets you get a slice of what its like to be a hobbit especially when it came to the banquet. Thanks for watching! 😁👋
Oh man that was ssoo cool! I was expecting Gandalf or Frodo to make an appearance 😂😂 maybe when we've save our pennies we might give it a go 😂🙌 and the food hhhmm yum! Definitely fit for a Hobbit/King so cool
This is something we've wanted to do for a while but the cost made us a bit reluctant too. After doing this though it's one of the most incredible experiences especially since we love the movies totally recommend it 👍
Hey Chelsea 😁👋 glad you enjoyed this episode, we had so much fun making this and can't wait to go back it was the coolest experience. Highly recommend if you visit New Zealand to go here 🥇
OMG, I love your video :D I love everything in it, and I am soo Happy for you that you got there, and soo grateful that you shared this beautiful experience with us :D and the food... I won't be able to sleep calmly tonight :D P. S. : what a beautiful and shining couple, you are full of life and love :) You have a new subscriber :)
Hello Balogh 👋🙂 Welcome to our channel 🥳 Thank you so much for your lovely comment! We're really happy that you enjoyed this video! ☺️❤️ Hobbiton was a really wonderful experience especially if you're a fan of LOTR! Even if you're not the place had a sparkling magic to it 🙂🌟
@@PeterandYen I'm planning on doing my working holiday visa in NZ in a year or two (after borders are lifted/a vaccine becomes available)! Thanks for your videos, they are a great source of inspiration! 🥝🌟
One more awesome video from my favourite team! You guys are super! Did you guys buy any mementos? Would be nice to share that too :)). Great stuff. I'm a Big LOTR fan!
I'm a massive fantasy fan so lord of the rings, willow, game of thrones all up my alley 👌 the only thing we bought is the cider for dad because that's the only thing you can't get from anywhere else in New Zealand.
As you mentioned, the package is quite expensive, but that banquet food looks really good, and the set looks amazing! Definitely, something we would consider if we visit NZ!
Guys I feel if you are fans of the lord of the rings series then doing the hobbiton tour is a must. I loved the experience and would do it again because it's a magical feeling from start to finish. Too bad you money magically disappears too 😂😂😂
Looks magical! That cider is a good find. We would loveeee to go there. Tell me you can go into the houses... Looks so nice at night. I’ll book this first if we go to NZ.
Unfortunately it's an external movie set only. The house are generally hollowed out you can peer into one but there isn't much in there. The inside scenes were all shot in Wellington in a studio 🤔
Hi Thu 😊👋 hobbiton is great! We had a magical time exploring the area and eating at green dragon inn. Definitely a must do for those visiting New Zealand 👌
thanks for showing us around Hobbiton looks an amazing place and naturely your checking out the food the Lamb shank looks nice I am getting hungry now *😀🔍fully viewed✅ supporting one another🔎🎭✅ it got our like 👍🇦🇺👍😀*
Hobbiton was awesome, yen and I had a great time getting fully immersed in the town then going to hobbiton movie set was just the best. The lamb shanks were on point too 👌
Things in general are a lil expensive here in New Zealand but this experience is 100% worth the price. Really recommend it especially if you're visiting the north island 😁👍
I(daniel) would be geeking out. I like lotr a lot, more so the books than the movie. Started reading them in grade 3 (8 years old). Lol. Hey love the music and popping up in a cloud of smoke was pretty darn cool too!
Hey Daniel I'm not a very good reader so movies were definitely my preferred method of digesting fantasy goodness 😁👌 being able to see this set in person was just awesome.
Hey guys, just found out about your channel. Amazing Job!! I am from Christchurch and soon going to open my own UA-cam channel similar to yours. Lots of learning from your videos. Much love and support :-)
Hi Priyanka 😊👋 that's awesome all the best with your videos! The first one is always the hardest. Yen n I were just in Christchurch this weekend had an awesome time despite our flight being delayed. Let us know when you're all set up ❤😊
@@PeterandYen Good to hear you both had an amazing experience. Can't wait to watch a video of your Christchurch tour 😍 And yes, i will definitely let you guys know when the first video is out. You guys are amazing ❤️
This is a plus having social media, when planing our trips, we get to see what we’re in for through you guys, so grateful and excited. Just found out we going to Wellington as well, bonus!!! Again thank you so much.....I’m hugging you guys right now🤗
I would love to visit this restaurant where the entire menu theme is all LOR set! So good!!! That pizza and onion rings is amazing... Now that's Precious ^_^
The whole town is cool like that. They've all gotten behind the hobbiton band wagon and as a lover of the movies it really adds to the build up of visiting the movie set ✌
Heyyyyy nice eye for detail yen and I actually bought a new lens to handle the night time shooting for this episode. The added benefit is everything is more crisp now 😊😍
Aaaaahhh this is so cool 😍😍 we have always wanted to visit the Hobition village, so cute!! It looks really magical! Its like a little tiny pixixe village! I wish you cpould actually live somewhere like this 😂 I (sally) have never even seen the movies, but I still really want to visit! OMG the banquet with the fire, the cat and the candles is just so dang cute!!!! Side note, do you guys think it would be better to travel to NZ in winter or summer? We have become obssesed with visiting recently 😍
Summer in New Zealand is the best but at the same time it's also notoriously expensive time to visit. I'd recommend the winter shoulder periods if you want to save some cash. Biggest thing is it rains a ton during then so that's the tradeoff. Glad you enjoyed hobbiton 😊👍
That is super awesome!! I was expecting Gandof to join you. That place looked like it had really good food. Did you guys have 2 and 3 breakfast like a hobbit?
Hahahahahaha we always have time for 2nd and 3rd breakfast 😂👌 totally expected Gandalf and the dwarves to join in had an awesome festive vibe to the whole place.
SOMEONE GIVE THESE TWO A TV/NETFLIX SHOW.
Hahaha thank you so much for the nice comment you're the best ❤
Bruhhhhhhh I was just thinking how they have that lifestyle tv show zing to them 💯💯💯💯
😅 thank you Cee - niverse cool thing about UA-cam is you don't needa wait for TV to give you a platform can just go do it yourself 😁👌
@@PeterandYen I triple agree to that 🙏🙏🙏
Yes, please!
Found out we are moving to the Auckland area at the end of August for a job opportunity my wife landed (we are from the US). Extremely excited. Looks beautiful and from what I have heard the people are friendly. We plan on living in Stonefields as of now. Keep up the good videos, I really enjoy them. Cheers!
Hey mate 😊👋 nice stone fields used to be a quarry but now it's a nice suburban area which is reasonably close to the city. End of August is also lovely weather. Hope you all enjoy your time here and thank you so much for watching our videos 😊❤

I enjoyed the cinematic fantasy movie vibe in some of the B-roll. Good to see that the food was good too. Themed restaurants don't have a good track record.
Yeah this one felt like high quality English roast. Considering it's a small town and a tourist activity I was extremely impressed with the food 🤤👌
😭😭😭😭😭😭 nice jooobbbbbb this was so amazing and I loved the song playing at the end as well!! GREAT VIDEOOOOOOO
😂👍 I was struggling to find the perfect song to wrap up the episode and after long for days it finally popped up with this new one on epidemic I was so relieved 😊👌
DUDE IM IN THE BUS SCREAMMINGG LMBOOOO HOW DID U DO THAT SMOKE THING IM DYINGGGGG LMBOOOOO THAT WAS TOO COOL
Pahahaha I can visually imagine you in the bus screaming Sundai 😂😂😂 the smoke things quite easy to do you just needa get the effect from UA-cam usually on green screen and then cut out the green screen part and wala you got a cool as effect 😂👍

Nice tour guys! Love LOTR! Didn’t get a chance to visit North Island yet but will definitely have to visit mainly for Hobbiton 😀
Yo guys yeah North island has so much awesome stuff. Can't recommend it enough. The hobbiton tour is definitely a must visit though. Glad y'all enjoyed it 😁👍
Love the cinematic part, the music is so soothing and love the hobbit setting!
We haven't done anything like that in the past glad y'all liked it 😁👍 might needa get a bit more practice but think I got the hang of it hahaha
Absolutely love this vlog!! Aww 🥰 all the hobbit houses! 😍😘💙 Keep it coming guys! Much alofas xx

Very smart idea for them to open this up and sell all those different tour packages
Great for the owners, fans, New Zealand and preserves a piece of LOTR for everyone 👍👍👍
Hey guys!!! Another cool episode😎 Hobbit cider😋 sounds good to us. The scenery around there is stunning!!!😲 Not too far away from Auckland too 👍
Hey guys yup an amazing spot and 2 hours is not too bad a drive 😊👌 food was pretty legendary too tasted very comfort English style 😁
Who the hell dislikes these videos. Awesome video guys. Keep it up. Do Queenstown
Hahaha thanks Jethro. We just can't seem to make up our minds up about queenstown. Really wanna go but it's expensive 😅 do have a special south island episode coming out soon though 😁👌 have a safe and awesome weekend!
Please come to morrinsville!🙏🏻
Maybe we can add it to an episode in the future I'll do some research and see what we can do 😊✌
Cool I live in morrinsville and have a bakery
O nice! Will have to visit your bakery what's it called?
It’s called golden loaf bakery and cafe
Whoa this is so cool! Never been to New Zealand but it looks awesome! And the food looks incredible 😍
Hope you get the chance to visit New Zealand and check it out for yourself 😁👍 it really is as cool as it looks or even cooler 😂

If you are planning to come for the banquet tour you just needa make sure you book a couple of months in advance it's ridiculously popular 👌
It's the shire! That's so amazing guys what an awesome place to visit. We're both huge LOTR nuts, we would have just been geeking out the whole time! Awesome video as always guys!
This experience was just the coolest. Glad y'all are fans too and enjoyed the video. New Zealand... land of the hobbits 😂
Peter becomes a poet in there.
Oh that lamb shack looks freaking amazing! So soft
Food looks great!
Guys great editing! Love it 😊
Those books have made a huge impact to this society, its so good to see a place like this where you can totally immerse on all of it.
Great video
Pahahaha I don't think anyone has picked up that line is actually from the hobbit movie. It's a great line from the man bilbo himself 😂 the food was extremely satisfying ❤ really awesome experience especially for fans of the movie/ books
Peter and Yen I figured it was lol

Hopefully we can make some more like this in the future 😎 green dragon inn provided the perfect backdrop though gonna be hard to top 😅
The smoke effect was so
Good!! I wanna stop off in Hobbiton when I come to Nz. New Zealand is so green.
Love the way you’ve edited this video. The shots you captured feels like an actual movie.
The banquet looks so good esp the Pav👌🏽
Gen! What are you filing the void that was left behind by Got? You definitely 100% needa go hobbiton I think you'll really enjoy it. Such a magical place and the banquet was delicious! 🤤
Peter and Yen I started watching kdramas 😂 but I had to stop because I’d binge watch, which led to unproductive days🤦🏻♀️
O no not those! Yen often falls into k drama worm holes I don't see her for a week or two 😁
Beautiful people, beautiful story telling and beautiful editing... damn.. how perfect can y'all really be! What have you done?! This makes me want to rewatch those 3hr long movies!
Hahaha glad you enjoyed it guys! We're pretty chuffed at how this one turned out. Who knew we knew how to do cinematic videos 😂
Ohhhh your video reminds me of a good visiting
I took a lot of pictures there!
Such an amazing spot right 😁👍 glad this video was able to bring back some memories for you. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment 👋😊
Wow the editing on this was amazing! Great job! This was epic. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
That banquet and tour looked worth the money you paid. Yum!
Thanks leah! We did have an epic time in hobbiton it was one of my favorite activities in New Zealand yet. I do really love those movies though. I think if you can the banquet is 100% worth it. Such an unforgettable experience.

Hi Karina 😊👋 welcome to the community and thanks for dropping a comment. Hope you do make your way over to New Zealand it's an amazing country Yen n I have both lived here most our lives 😁👍
@@PeterandYen I would like to go for Working Holiday visa maybe in next 2-3 years for like 6 months and travel accross the whole island :)
Woooowww this was amazing! Thank you for sharing your experience. Thats def on the bucket list!!
😂😂 Marie your bucket list keeps growing! We had a blast at the movie set. Keen to go back sometime it was just the best. Hey hope all your training is going well Marie. I've been contemplating putting together an episode about how a food vlogger stays in shape but not sure lol 🤔😅
Peter and Yen I think that’s a really good idea because after I start ticking off some of the places you guys have suggested I’m going to have to do more workout at home lol
wow! nice tour! and of course, food had to be present! loved the movie set! brings back good memories! Love how you put the letterbox when showing the cinematic of the movie set!
we are doing a Game of Thrones route here in Northern Ireland. Pretty epic!!
Goood video!
O wow GOT tour would be so epic too! Yen and I both love that series so sad it's over now though 😥 Ireland is definitely on our bucket list of places to visit ❤
Thank you so much for making th8s video the first describtional tour I could find of this place I can't wait to go at the start of next year
Hi Troy, glad you enjoyed this video! It's a pretty magical experience. Will you do the banquet dinner too? It's a little pricey but definitely worth it if you really want to immerse in the experience 🙂👍 Have an amazing time!
Very cool place.. I haven't seen this movie, but it is always cool to revisit the used locations :)
It's an amazing set and the experience is something everyone who visits north island should check out 😁🇳🇿
That’s a very sweet visitors center. That bar food looks very nice! Good pizza combination.
Yeah it's cool that the whole town of Matamata has gotten behind the hobbit spirit 😁
We were here today!
Awesome 😍👍 hope you had a great time! Yen and I wanna go back we really enjoyed it 😁
This is so cool! I've heard that the whole Lord of the rings tourism is quite big there but didn't know the actual set was there like that...and the restaurants look really fun.
Dude such a cool experience definitely one of the coolest things we've done so far. But I'm also a massive lord of the rings fan. The green dragon inn was just icing topping off a wonderful tour 😁
That smoke effect when Peter appears from nowhere 😮 Who directed this video, Peter Jackson? 🤣
😂😂😂 it was yen Jackson for that particular effect scene 👍 once in a while she has a lil nugget
🤣🤣🤣 lol it is pretty cool hey 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Hahahhha guys love that Peter appearing in smoke in the beginning. Food at the hobbit dinner looked fantastic too.
Hey guys glad you enjoyed the episode and the low budget special effects hahaha 😊✌ thanks watching!
Wow....I'm speechless....Peter & Yen - after viewing that video, you have made me a happy man. - Thanks guy's.
Glad you enjoyed it Tooks! It's a special experience for any LOTR and Hobbit fans 😁👍
Beautiful scenery there!
It's so beautiful loved the whole experience from start to finish literally felt like you're in the shire ❤
Such a lovely episode guys the Nature Park is so Magical and green feels like somewhere in UK...the place is perfect for me I ll dress like 2 m tall Viking haha Myrism could be hobbit)) cheers guys have a wonderful Sunday
😂😂😂 Dave mate I can so picture you being a viking in this land of little people but you'll just needa be careful remember the story of David and goliath. Only this one is David and myriam ❤
@@PeterandYen i do have a sling shot and ballbearings hey - for trolls:)
Now! That's cool! Awesome take me thru....will definitely visit.
Ahhhhh I love this place want to go back! One of our favorite experiences in New Zealand for sure.
New subscriber here!!
This all truly looks right out of the movies, incredible! What a fun place to explore. It looks like even the food fits the theme, love it!
Hello hello 😊👋 thanks for joining the community. Had an awesome time at hobbiton and it literally was right out of the movies 😁👍 food was delicious to boot 😍
I really enjoy watching your videos!
Very entertaining 👍🤩
You two are stars 🌟
Aw thank you 😁❤👋 this episode was heaps of fun to put together since hobbiton has been on our bucket list for ages. Glad you're enjoying our videos 😊
OMG this brings us so many memories to the TLOTR movie.
Definitely this is in our bucket list to visit Hobbiton.
Ony is a BIG FAN of TLOTR and she read all the books 😍
Thanks guys for showing us around Hobbiton 👍
I'm a huge fan of lord of the rings too! In fact I love everything that's set in those fantasy medieval era's. Even cooler was that so much if it was filmed right here in New Zealand 🇳🇿❤ really loved this tour one of the best things we've done ever wanna go back 😊👍 Peter
Yikes a bit pricey, I love how y’all include so many details !!! It’s great
😅 yeah definitely on the pricier side but stuff in New Zealand is generally like that. I think that this experience is definitely worth the money though. Love it so much wanna do it again 😊👍
wow peter the banquet looks amazing... had always been too lazy to take the drive, but after seeing this I might just give it a go!
O yeah the food at the banquet was really tasty. And the whole experience is just magical. Make sure you book in advance if you want to do the banquet though it's super popular. Thanks for stopping by 😊👋
We had the great good fortune to tour NZ back in 2005 and stumbled upon the OLD Hobbiton set. It cost us nearly 100NZ$ back then and we didn't get even a bagel!! :) I still remember the curmudgeon who drove our bus around...his name was Horndog, I kid you not! Your video tours are awesome!! Thank you!!!
Hahahaha what an epic name! O yes hobbiton was an amazing experience. Really miss the place been itching to go back since.
Hobbit place it’s amazing! Love the editing 😍 and music too.
It’s a bit expensive but looks like worth it.
Thank you glad you enjoyed the episode 😊✌ did something a lil different for us with that cinematic thing glad it turned out ok 😁👌 a tad expensive but totally worth it I wanna go back 😁
OMGOsh I want to be a Hobbit!! This makes me fool so nostalgic. Thanks for sharing! :)
Hobbiton movie set is an amazing place definitely lets you get a slice of what its like to be a hobbit especially when it came to the banquet. Thanks for watching! 😁👋
Oh man that was ssoo cool! I was expecting Gandalf or Frodo to make an appearance 😂😂 maybe when we've save our pennies we might give it a go 😂🙌 and the food hhhmm yum! Definitely fit for a Hobbit/King so cool
This is something we've wanted to do for a while but the cost made us a bit reluctant too. After doing this though it's one of the most incredible experiences especially since we love the movies totally recommend it 👍
I’ve been meaning to catch up on this episode! Hobbiton looks amazing, and so did your dinner and dessert! Great video Peter and Yen! 😃
Hey Chelsea 😁👋 glad you enjoyed this episode, we had so much fun making this and can't wait to go back it was the coolest experience. Highly recommend if you visit New Zealand to go here 🥇
OMG, I love your video :D I love everything in it, and I am soo Happy for you that you got there, and soo grateful that you shared this beautiful experience with us :D and the food... I won't be able to sleep calmly tonight :D P. S. : what a beautiful and shining couple, you are full of life and love :) You have a new subscriber :)
Hello Balogh 👋🙂 Welcome to our channel 🥳 Thank you so much for your lovely comment! We're really happy that you enjoyed this video! ☺️❤️ Hobbiton was a really wonderful experience especially if you're a fan of LOTR! Even if you're not the place had a sparkling magic to it 🙂🌟
Very nice video, great detail all the best. Thank you for sharing this awesome video guys. Have a great day 😀😀😀👍 cheers
Hey bro hope you've been well! Yeah man hobbiton is an awesome place and one of the coolest experiences we've been on yet. Thanks for watching 😁
Im happy that this video comes up when i have plan to visit there hahaha so helping! Keep it uo guys!!!!
Oo jealous would be great to go again! Hope you enjoy your time in the hobbiton movie set. It's an awesome pace 😊✌
Wonderful showcase! :) Dreaming of visiting New Zealand.
Hope you'll get the chance to when travel restrictions are lifted eventually 😃👍🏼
@@PeterandYen I'm planning on doing my working holiday visa in NZ in a year or two (after borders are lifted/a vaccine becomes available)! Thanks for your videos, they are a great source of inspiration! 🥝🌟
That's wonderful! Best of luck and thank you, glad you enjoy our videos 😁💕
Awesome video guys!! Really well done!!
Thank you ✌️ 😊
One more awesome video from my favourite team! You guys are super! Did you guys buy any mementos? Would be nice to share that too :)). Great stuff.
I'm a Big LOTR fan!
I'm a massive fantasy fan so lord of the rings, willow, game of thrones all up my alley 👌 the only thing we bought is the cider for dad because that's the only thing you can't get from anywhere else in New Zealand.
This is awesome I heard eating hobbit food will make your feet grow bigger!!! Loving the food
Definitely makes your stomach grow bigger 😂😂😂
Yoooo - that explosion effect and cough 🤣
😂 thanks my bros glad you enjoyed this high cost production with special effects 😁
As you mentioned, the package is quite expensive, but that banquet food looks really good, and the set looks amazing! Definitely, something we would consider if we visit NZ!
Guys I feel if you are fans of the lord of the rings series then doing the hobbiton tour is a must. I loved the experience and would do it again because it's a magical feeling from start to finish. Too bad you money magically disappears too 😂😂😂
Great video!
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it 👍😁
This is awesome! It looks so beautiful. I wish I could live in one of the house.... I think I could make it work. Great video guys 🤗
Yes would love to live in a hobbit hole that would be so cool seriously! Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video 😊👍
Looks magical! That cider is a good find. We would loveeee to go there. Tell me you can go into the houses... Looks so nice at night. I’ll book this first if we go to NZ.
Unfortunately it's an external movie set only. The house are generally hollowed out you can peer into one but there isn't much in there. The inside scenes were all shot in Wellington in a studio 🤔
Oohhh We had no idea. It’s still very cool nonetheless!
Life in Hobbiton is so much more fun that I imagined, Peter
Hi Thu 😊👋 hobbiton is great! We had a magical time exploring the area and eating at green dragon inn. Definitely a must do for those visiting New Zealand 👌
Wonderful place and that food its look delicious
It is totally an amazing spot and the food is on point. Thanks for watching 👍
thanks for showing us around Hobbiton looks an amazing place and naturely your checking out the food the Lamb shank looks nice I am getting hungry now
*😀🔍fully viewed✅ supporting one another🔎🎭✅ it got our like 👍🇦🇺👍😀*
Hobbiton was awesome, yen and I had a great time getting fully immersed in the town then going to hobbiton movie set was just the best. The lamb shanks were on point too 👌
Nice editing and tour. It is a bit pricey, but I guess it is worth it. I really enjoyed this vlog.
Things in general are a lil expensive here in New Zealand but this experience is 100% worth the price. Really recommend it especially if you're visiting the north island 😁👍
I(daniel) would be geeking out. I like lotr a lot, more so the books than the movie. Started reading them in grade 3 (8 years old). Lol. Hey love the music and popping up in a cloud of smoke was pretty darn cool too!
Hey Daniel I'm not a very good reader so movies were definitely my preferred method of digesting fantasy goodness 😁👌 being able to see this set in person was just awesome.
So nice to visit this movie world......in India we have RAMOJI FILM CITY in Hyderabad.......Asia's disney land.....considered many
O wow my friend is from Hyderabad sounds like a fun experience gonna Google what it looks like 😁✌
Hey guys, just found out about your channel. Amazing Job!! I am from Christchurch and soon going to open my own UA-cam channel similar to yours. Lots of learning from your videos. Much love and support :-)
Hi Priyanka 😊👋 that's awesome all the best with your videos! The first one is always the hardest. Yen n I were just in Christchurch this weekend had an awesome time despite our flight being delayed. Let us know when you're all set up ❤😊
@@PeterandYen Good to hear you both had an amazing experience. Can't wait to watch a video of your Christchurch tour 😍
And yes, i will definitely let you guys know when the first video is out.
You guys are amazing
❤️
You are an amazing couple. NZ is absolutely beautiful 💯. Thank you😊
Thanks Seliama so glad to have you with us ❤❤😁 NZ is really an amazing country we're so blessed to have grown up here
This is a plus having social media, when planing our trips, we get to see what we’re in for through you guys, so grateful and excited. Just found out we going to Wellington as well, bonus!!! Again thank you so much.....I’m hugging you guys right now🤗
Awesome video guys 😍 as usual... Omggggg I to go there and check this place out toooooooooo
😁✌ thank you ❤ glad you're enjoying our content and yes this is definitely a spot you'll wanna check out in New Zealand 👌
@@PeterandYen I will 😍 thanks for sharingggggggg
That food looks super yummy too. Esp. Thise panko onion rings great feast.
The banquet was epic, tasted really good, n made the whole experience come to life. Almost felt as if the dwarves would show up at any minute 😂✌
I would love to visit this restaurant where the entire menu theme is all LOR set! So good!!! That pizza and onion rings is amazing... Now that's Precious ^_^
The whole town is cool like that. They've all gotten behind the hobbiton band wagon and as a lover of the movies it really adds to the build up of visiting the movie set ✌
Is it just me or does the footage look more crisp🤔
Heyyyyy nice eye for detail yen and I actually bought a new lens to handle the night time shooting for this episode. The added benefit is everything is more crisp now 😊😍
Yea it looks great
Omg Lord of the rings set!!! Yes!!!!
Hahaha glad you enjoyed this one bro. One of my own personal favorite videos yet 😊 Peter
This is actually so cool!!!
It's super cool right! New Zealand world famous for hobbits 😅
Awesome Peter and Yen
Thank you! 🙌🧙♂️🧙♀️
Awesome video
This is my dream town 💚
Hobbiton is really an amazing experience hope you get to visit your dream town one day 😊❤
Nice Vlog and very Tasty food dear
Thank you glad you enjoyed the video 😊👍
Aaaaahhh this is so cool 😍😍 we have always wanted to visit the Hobition village, so cute!! It looks really magical! Its like a little tiny pixixe village! I wish you cpould actually live somewhere like this 😂 I (sally) have never even seen the movies, but I still really want to visit! OMG the banquet with the fire, the cat and the candles is just so dang cute!!!! Side note, do you guys think it would be better to travel to NZ in winter or summer? We have become obssesed with visiting recently 😍
Summer in New Zealand is the best but at the same time it's also notoriously expensive time to visit. I'd recommend the winter shoulder periods if you want to save some cash. Biggest thing is it rains a ton during then so that's the tradeoff. Glad you enjoyed hobbiton 😊👍
That is super awesome!! I was expecting Gandof to join you. That place looked like it had really good food. Did you guys have 2 and 3 breakfast like a hobbit?
Hahahahahaha we always have time for 2nd and 3rd breakfast 😂👌 totally expected Gandalf and the dwarves to join in had an awesome festive vibe to the whole place.
matamata is spy in Indonesia lol, it is a very beautiful place. looks so cool
O wow lol learnt something new 😂👍 hobbiton is an awesome place for sure. Thanks for dropping by mate have a great weekend
Peter and Yen like i say before i thought you are indonesian. Shouldve pay more attetion in your previous vid
The foods looks so delicious 😋
It was an amazing feast! Really felt like we were in the movie and living like a hobbit 😁👍
So cool....
I know 😍😍😍
Me: Wow, that Ninja entrance in the beginning.
Me again: WOOOW THAT SMOKE EFFECT ENTRANCE!!
!!!

Beautiful amazing warm place :D
Food.....eummmmm so heavenly!
-FW-
Hope you enjoyed it 😁👋 hobbiton was one of our favorite experiences in New Zealand. Love lord of the rings 😍
how much for the tickets guys
Hello 😁👋 the tour we went on was $195 which included food and the tour. Thanks for watching.
Could we buy ticket at entrance? or need to buy online prior to arrival?
Best to buy online first we've had a few friends go there without advance booking only to miss out.
Oh yeah - bring on that lamb shank!
Hahaha the food was good I could actually imagine that if the hobbits were real this is the meal they would be eating after a long journey 😍
I work at the green dragon I wish I met you two 😍
O my gosh what a dream job! Would be so cool working there 😍 hey never know we will be back might see you then 😁👋
Nice..keep going..
Thanks mate appreciate it 😁👍
