It's certainly interesting, I had to do some research afterwards and was surprised to find the artist who made it is a mystery, nobody knows who transformed this Norfolk pine tree into what it is today. It appeared December 2013 when a large section of bark was removed from the tree and a door was found in its place. The door itself is a little under 2 metres tall with blue eyes peaking out of the door and a small door in the bottom left in which you can see a Gollum toy from the lord of the rings through its door window. There's also a metal sign on the door that inscribes, "this tree may now unfold a secret thus far untold. So shake about, wiggle thy bum he may then speak to the chosen one". Maybe it's a clue as to who made it, or maybe its just some fun magic for children's imagination.

Me and my kids love visiting the Gollum Door, this started as an illegal art instillation that turned into a public upheaval to have it kept as it was! A beautiful little characteristic of the already beautiful beach.

a nice little man. love him and his tree.

It's a huge hit. The kids just love it.

Cool

Very nice living area, great internet to stream, too many people in my game-zone though.

Magical

So precious I didn't even know it was there :)

The grandkids have fun there

Fab Sunday all great day , ouh ar resting up. ha ha thanks guys 👦

Pretty cool artwork. Worth a look, great for kids of all ages. 😊

Underwhelming. If you’re staying nearby maybe go see it, there’s a children’s playground nearby, public toilets and car park too. Needs a better plaque imo.

Very creative art piece, great for kids and adults to check out if in the area.

Perfect to spark children imagination. I would use it to kick-star stories about wonderful hidden worlds for my children, but I have none, so here is the idea for someone who has. You are welcome.

A quirky and creative piece of artwork that's very easy to miss when walking by. It's located off the main path, with the Google geolocation being pretty helpful. Supposedly the artist remains a mystery, but it's a good point of interest especially for younger children.

We loved it. You have to admire the person who created it.Such an intriguing thing to do in such a beautiful setting. It's brought so much pleasure to visitors and the locals. 🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️

Last night, after I read the inscription there were something that sounded like animal noises coming from out of it. It continued every now and again.

Cute little addition that sparks imagination

I think it was someone's creation to attract children.

The massive tree is such an amazing natural playground for the kids to climb, hide, imagine and learn. Had a great time there.

Great use of nature love it

Very cute thing and a nice area to chill.

Interesting for kids, plenty of fun

Cute

Cute

Brought back memories

Pretty funny

Magic spot

Can't believe the door isn't Memphis designed, it ruins the whole experience for me. If anybody ever finds out who made this then I will need to have a word with them. Not happy.

It's cute!

Kids will love it..a door in a northfolk pine just nth of the pirate park...Look real closely and you may see a tiny suprise

An enchanted tree. Kids love it!

Such a nice touch to the area

Didn't know this was even here until I saw something about it online. Great for the kids to find.

Great facilities: Bayside view, swimmable Beach, many BBQs and Picnic Shelters. Large grassy park, bouncing pillow, Basketball hoops, Fenced Climbing trees & swinds for kids. Fantastic Park!

Adorable, near great park and coffee shops
