into it, you know, and they keep doing it that
it just gets better and better and better.

It's the kind of place I'll probably go to again. Yeah,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
But it's amazing. Like I feel like I was the
only music on maybe there was maybe three or four
of us were Kiwis in the whole tour just so good.
The rest were like all overseas visitor and some people
were frothing did they had come to New Zealand to
see this?

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Did you feel? I found a real sense of pride
on the bus.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
When they played the videos and they showed sort of
all of New Zealand and the landscapes and all the
shooting things, I was like, actually pretty like hashtag blessed.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah, it's pretty beautiful.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
I was actually looking at Hobbiton I saw your photo
and it made me think about their Christmas Feast. At
Christmas Feast, you can go there and do it?

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Want to go? Yeah? Yeah, the Christmas Feast already sold out.
I mean I shouldn't be surprised. It's in December and
we're close. The guy said the marathon next year sold
out as well. That yeah, I think so.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
Halfling marathon.

Speaker 3 (01:57):

Speaker 4 (02:01):

what's the next big event? The Summer Harvest Festival next
year is happening Ona's birthday?

morning and around all day, and maybe.

We do the feast at night.

Speaker 2 (02:22):

that's incredible.

get enough time there.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah. I mean those people got married, They're like, what
does it cost to get married there?

Speaker 3 (02:35):
We've got so many questions about it. Yeah, I think
it would be it'll be a bad because, like it
would be making moolah printing.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
It would be so expensive to keep that place going
in all the staff, the garden, the garden, they just
constantly garden the landscape.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
You've got to keep a beautiful year round, regardless of
what the we.
