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.

Hobbiton was incredible and our tour guide, Brad, made it so extra and amazing with all of his knowledge and personal experience growing up in the area and being an expert in LotR and the Hobbit. The food and drinks at The Green Dragon were great, too! Highly recommend.

Firstly, there is plenty of parking at the facility. We were well looked after, and the tour guide was very informative, and the scenery and layout of the site was very pleasing to the eye. The cafe prices were very reasonable for a remote location.
