## Parking for Frodo’s Tree (LotR) on Mount Victoria

Frodo’s Tree (LotR) is at 43A Scarborough Terrace in Mount Victoria. The site sits within a Wellington City Council public park, with access recommended from Ellice Street or Palliser Road (newzealandfilmmap.com). Follow the Hobbit’s Hideaway signpost from the main approach to reach the film-location area (newzealandfilmmap.com).

Drivers should treat the approach as a park-and-walk visit rather than expect a dedicated bay at the tree. The exact location is a grassy area surrounded by native forest and is signposted from the car park (newzealand.com). The nearest practical parking guidance points to the car park near where Alexandra Road crosses Paterson Street (cassiethehag.com).

## Parksy Parking Spaces Near Frodo’s Tree

Parksy lists a secure outdoor parking lot in Mount Victoria, 560 metres from Frodo’s, at $4 an hour. A second convenient outdoor space in Mount Victoria is 600 metres away and also costs $4 an hour, giving drivers two priced options close to the hill approach.

For longer stays, a secure 24/7 garage in Wellington is 710 metres away and costs $299 a month. A space at Lipman Street Car Park in Mount Victoria is 740 metres away at $4 an hour. These locations put drivers within walking distance of the signed park route while avoiding a search for a space immediately beside the attraction.

## Ellice Street and Palliser Road Parking Options

New Zealand Film Map identifies Ellice Street as a place to park for the public Wellington City Council park, with Palliser Road providing another approach (newzealandfilmmap.com). The guidance is useful for drivers who want to stay close to the Mount Victoria trail entrance rather than leave a car farther into the suburb.

From the parking area, visitors follow the Hobbit’s Hideaway signpost towards the forested film-location setting (newzealandfilmmap.com).

## Busy Times and Street Parking Around Mount Victoria

Parking pressure is likely to be greatest when visitors are using Mount Victoria’s walking routes and film-location trail, particularly during popular sightseeing periods. The approach involves a signed route through a public park, so drivers should leave room for other park users and avoid blocking access on Ellice Street, Palliser Road, Alexandra Road or Paterson Street.

Frodo’s is reached on foot from the parking areas rather than by driving directly into the grassy, native-forest setting. Parking near the Alexandra Road and Paterson Street crossing keeps the vehicle close to the recommended trail access, while Ellice Street and Palliser Road are the named alternatives for reaching the park (newzealandfilmmap.com; cassiethehag.com).

## Walking From Wellington Stations to Frodo’s Tree

Mount Victoria centre is 440 metres from Frodo’s Tree (LotR), making the attraction a short walk from the suburb’s central area. The site address is 43A Scarborough Terrace, and the route continues through the public park towards the Hobbit’s Hideaway signpost.

Rail travellers can use Wellington Station as the city rail arrival point before continuing towards Mount Victoria, although the station-to-site walking distance is not specified here. From the Mount Victoria side, drivers and walkers should use the signed park approach from Ellice Street or Palliser Road and expect the final section to be on foot.
