Hobbiton Movie Set Tours
New Zealand has become synonymous with the Middle-earth of JRR Tolkien’s famous books since the release of the blockbuster Lord of the Rings film trilogy, directed by New Zealander Sir Peter Jackson. All around the country are scenic spots that were transformed into sets for the three movies and the subsequent Hobbit sequels.
Tucked away on picturesque private farmland near the small town of Matamata in the North Island, the Hobbiton Movie Set is the most famous of these Lord of the Rings filming locations. Today you can still visit the private farm where ‘The Shire’ was created and see where the movie magic was made. During the guided Hobbiton tours you’ll see the famous Hobbit holes, along with the Mill and The Green Dragon and other sights you’ll recognise from the films. Read about the history of Hobbiton.
Hobbiton Movie Set tours depart daily from Auckland and Rotorua, with options to include Waitomo Caves and Rotorua sightseeing.
