HOBBITON

The Shire (home of the Hobbits) is a must see location specially for fans of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

Two hours south from Auckland you will encounter Waikato rich lands with its famous and top quality dairy products and race horses. If you have the chance to visit any of the farms you will understand why these green paddocks and rolling hills have been chosen as a movie set.

You will have the chance to visit The Shire with a tour guide. The movie set is formed by 44 different Hobbit holes including Bag End. While you walk through Middle Earth you will hear stories about how this place was selected, built, other anecdotes and filming details.

The visit also includes the Green Dragon Inn, double-arch bridge, the mill and the famous Party Tree.
