We got to go inside a hobbit house! This is a new thing. Hobbiton was high on our must-do list, but the house interiors weren't scheduled for completion until December 2023 (and were already booking up). As this is summer break time for kids down under, we decided to wait until February to visit Hobbiton. As you can see below, they spent a lot of time making the new addition look authentic. It's incredible!
Due to the crowds, we couldn't get a good shot of the entrances. We thought we'd get them on the way out, but they take you out the back door, so this is as good as we got. We were also in the back of the pack, which meant we needed to rush through some parts to get uncrowded pictures and experience everything before being ushered out. Still worth it!
Once inside, the spaces open up and the real fun begins.
We started in the living room.
I spent some time looking through Bilbo's writings.
And we continued moving through the house to the important stuff.
And on to the bedrooms.
The kitchen! Now we're talking.
I thought I should take a moment to write Bilbo a thank you note for letting us visit.
It was finally time to exit through the rear.
From here, you get a good view of our next stop, the Green Dragon Inn.
