Get off the road! Had fun finding this spot with the kids. They had no idea what was going on but the enjoyed playing about in the forest. Obviously there was a fair bit if set dressing on the day but with a pinch of imagination you can hear hoof beats as you huddle under the roots of the tree. Green spaces in cities are really important. They can really connect us back to the great outdoors and soak away the stress of day to day life. And this one is so accessible that I don't have to worry about taking the toddlers too far off the beaten track.

I come past here often and see tourists absolutely underwhelmed by this. A bit embarrassing really, Wellington. For a little bit of dosh we could make this really cool. By all means come and have a look,but be ready for a modest sort of tourist experience!
You need to use your imagination cause it doesn't looks like in the movie. But the walking is really beautiful
We had a really nice walk there but there was nothing special about the hobbit’s hideaway point. I just felt that I had to see it as a fan of the Lord of the Rings.
A hidden gem on the Mount Vic walk, nice.
Fun to take a photo there and see a part of iconic film making. We were actually there to do some filming ourselves. It's not very impressive as it's just a ditch, but fun nevertheless.
Don't hesitate to go here! If you are a fan of LOTR and you are visiting Wellington, you MUST GO here! Google map says the farther way to get here. Just go straight up to Pirie street and pass by kids' playground. Go up alongside the way then you will see. I was so lucky that I met tour groups and got commentary from an awesome guide although I was not in the tour group. It would be much better to search the 'get off the road' scenes before going.
Come and see another "walk-about" place where the first movie was filmed. If you have a tour guide with you, they will even point and show you pictures of where some of the lines took place on the film!
