Discover the world-famous Hobbiton film set, known from the film trilogies The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

Amidst the rolling green hills lies a truly special place where imagination becomes reality – Hobbiton! The Hobbiton Movie Set is one of New Zealand’s most iconic and magical attractions, not to be missed by film enthusiasts or anyone seeking an utterly unique experience.

Here, a 2.5-hour guided tour awaits you on the 12-hectare film set, accompanied by a professional Hobbiton guide who will ensure you make the most of your visit. Along the way, you’ll see over 40 charming hobbit holes tucked away in the enchanting gardens, while hearing fascinating stories and behind-the-scenes secrets about the making of the films. After the guided walk through the quaint village, the tour continues inside one of the hobbit holes, where you can explore the intricately detailed interiors and step right into the magical world of Middle-earth.

The tour ends with a refreshing drink at the famous Hobbiton pub, The Green Dragon Inn, where you’ll have the chance to sample one of the inn’s own beverages.

After your visit to The Green Dragon Inn, you’ll take the bus back to The Shire’s Rest, which has both a café and a souvenir shop. Here, you can enjoy a bite to eat or pick up a unique keepsake to take home.
