As you’ve seen on my travels around the North Island of New Zealand, there are tons of Lord of the Rings locations you can visit (like Hobbiton and various Middle Earth locations). Here are a few LOTR locations on the South Island:
This is where they filmed Argonath, aka The Pillars of the Kings in The Fellowship of the Rings. It marked the northern border of Gondor.
The Gibbston Valley Winery is close by.
Any money with penguins on it is okay with me.
This is the location of the lake town in The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug. 🐲
This looks like it’s straight out of LOTR, huh?
Very beautiful photography….. 🙂
thank you so much!!!

Absolutely gorgeous photography!! And of course, New Zealand is as always beautiful to look at.
Lovely images. Really does look like a fantasy film. You may want to consider relocating. Their president sounds way better than this guy we have over here.
It truly is beautiful. haha almost anyone seems like they’d be an improvement to the situation we’re in over here.
My gosh, such a beautiful place! Thanks for sharing.
One of the most spectacular I’ve ever seen! thanks so much!
I am envious. Thanks so much for sharing such wonderful photos.
