Matamata Information
A nearby farm was the location for the Hobbiton set in Peter Jackson's film trilogy of The Lord of the Rings. A "Welcome to Hobbiton" sign has been placed on the main road. By a weird coincidence, the world's only other Matamata - Matamata, Tunisia - was a site used during filming of George Lucas's Star Wars trilogy.
