The Beard<\/strong> sends this in: I see on TORN that there seems to be Hobbit action in Dunedin, so maybe the filming here in Golden Bay is second unit, or maybe they got creative to deal with iffy weather here. The word around the Bay is that they are filming at two locations: Canaan Downs at Harwood’s Hole, and at a private sheep station at Kaihoka Lakes. I was actually at the latter place yesterday, on a social visit with a friend, but there was no sign of filming and the owner apparently told my friend that they were filming at Canaan Downs that day. <\/p>\n

I do believe the Kaihoka Lakes location, as this is a farm family who would have no reason to make up the fact that their property is being used!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
