Overview

Experience the real Middle-earth™ at the Hobbiton™ Movie Set, where, in the heart of the Waikato region, you can step into the lush pastures of the Shire™, as seen in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies.

Fall in love with the Alexander family sheep farm, just as acclaimed director Sir Peter Jackson did, as you journey through the unequivocal beauty of the land with the mighty Kaimai Ranges towering in the distance. Your guide will escort you around the set, showing the intricate detailing, pointing out the most famous locations and explaining how the movie magic was made. You will be fully-guided around the 12-acre set: past the colourful Hobbit Hole™ doors that scatter the hillsides, before arriving at Bagshot Row™ for a glimpse of the interior of a humble Hobbit’s home. Finally, you will arrive at the world-famous Green Dragon™ Inn where you will receive a complimentary, exclusive Hobbit™ Southfarthing™ beverage to conclude your own Middle-earth™ adventure.

This is one of life's pleasures you should give yourself. To be carefree and be immersed in Hobbiton, birds singing, sun shinning, beautiful gardens & paths to walk on, life cant get any better, especially when shared with friends.

Loved the entire tour, but the highlight for us was going into the interior of a Hobbit Hole on Bagshot Row. Every detail was purposeful and fun to explore. Having a pint of ginger beer at the Green Dragon at the end of the tour was also well received - plus a friendly cat lounging before the fireplace an unexpected bonus.
