Experience the real Middle-earth at the Hobbiton Movie Set, where, in the heart of the Waikato region, just 45 mins drive from Hamilton, you can step into the lush pastures of the Shire, as seen in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies.
Your guide will escort you through the 12 acre set, past Hobbit holes, The Green Dragon Inn, The Mill and other structures, recounting fascinating details on how this beautiful piece of Waikato farmland was transformed into The Shires from Middle Earth.
