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.

Absolute dream come true. It was a bucket list moment that will be forever remembered by myself and my partner in particular, it was his 60th birthday present to himself. We felt privileged to be in the Shire and feel the reality of the movie. Best experience ever 👍👍👏👏

Good day visiting the set with an informative entertaining guide. A bit of walking for those of us not as young as we used to be but doable with the informative stops along the way.

Excellent experience if you the the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit books. Our guide was very knowledgeable and it was a neat experience to see the actual 'set' of the movie. I highly recommend it.

You don’t have to be a fan of the movies to enjoy it. Being able to walk in one of the hobbit holes was so cool! You won’t be disappointed.
