Happy Hobbit Day! 🌿🏡
You do not have to be the world’s biggest Tolkien fan to appreciate the magic of Hobbiton.
Set among the rolling green hills of New Zealand’s Waikato region, the Hobbiton Movie Set invites travelers to wander past colorful Hobbit Hole doors, step inside a home along Bagshot Row, and finish with a drink at the Green Dragon Inn.
It is a wonderfully detailed experience, but it also fits beautifully into a broader North Island journey. Pair it with Auckland, Rotorua’s geothermal landscapes and Māori cultural experiences, or a few relaxed days among the vineyards of Waiheke Island.
Hobbiton may bring you to the Shire. The landscapes, people, and experiences of New Zealand will make you want to stay a little longer.
