Scattered among the grassy hills of Hobbiton like a purse full of lost coins, the bright round doors of many dozen Hobbit-holes shine in bright, summery hues, each home to a Hobbit or family of the little people.

As diverse as the rosy-cheeked Hobbits themselves, every smial, as Hobbit-holes are known, reflects the unique personality of its inhabitant and nestles into the hillside amid a sea of lush greenery. Among the largest of Hobbiton's homes are the richly planted, sprawling smials overlooking the bountiful vegetable gardens.

Each an individual dwelling, the Hobbit holes lend themselves splendidly to creative placement in your cabinet. With a flat back and shallow depth of only 55mm, they can be placed on mantles, cornices, shelves and in windows.

Because of the relationship we have with all the production parts of the process, we have access to everything from concept drawings to set plans, which is really handy when making things like the Hobbit Holes.

Leonard Ellis - Sculptor & Model Maker, Weta Workshop

The Great Garden Smial is an Open Edition piece. Please note: This miniature environment was designed and prototyped here at the Workshop. Images are of a pre-production prototype. This product is hand painted and variations will occur.

This gorgeous little environment is an exacting miniature replica of the movie set that can be visited at Hobbiton in Matamata, New Zealand

Weta Workshop’s high-quality Middle-earth collectibles are designed by the very same artists and technicians who work on our movies. It takes 400-500 hours to design, sculpt, model make, mold, and paint the prototype for each new piece. Whether it be a prop replica, beautiful environment or iconic character, we treat our collectibles with the same level of care and attention to detail that we bring to our film work.

  1. Best smial
    This was my second Hobbit Hole I bought to built a collection of memories after my visit in Hobbiton in 2020.
    This smial is one of the first you see when you visit Hobbiton, and the one you have a photo opportunity with in the evening after the Evening Banquet Tour.
    This great smial stand up as maybe the best in my collection. Not only the hole is detailed but also the piece of garden surrounding it. It just invites you to pick it up and look at every detail again and again.

    When in doubt which hole to choose, I would say: go for this Great Garden Smial that stands up to its name!

    As soon as I saw Weta were creating a replica of The Great Garden Smial I knew I had to buy one!

    This Hobbit hole has sentimental meaning to me as my wife and I got married infront of it at the Hobbiton Movie Set in New Zealand in February 2018.

    This is a beautiful replica of the real thing, is gorgeously recreated and I can now stare at it and wish I was back at in Hobbiton on our special day!

    Thank you

  4. Beautiful Addition
    This is another great little house for my Hobbiton! As exquisitely detailed as the others although a little high in price for the size. However it's a must have for any collectors creating their own village.
