Have you sucumbed to Hobbit Fever?! (Fri, 7th Dec 2012)

If you’re a fan like we are you must have seen the film already, but have you seen the new campaign from Tourisn NZ?

“Take a journey through Middle-earth” blends the fantasy world of Tolkien with our real world scenery where Queenstown and Glenorchy star as Isengard and Lothlorien.

So when you’re done riding the best jet boat ride in Queenstown (check out our reviews!), take a drive up to Glenorchy and check out the scenery at a more relaxed pace!
