Reviews: From Auckland, New Zealand: Hobbiton™ Movie Set Tours
Guest User2025-01-08
Hobbiton is a magical experience for fans of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Nestled in the stunning rolling hills of Matamata, it feels like stepping straight into Middle-earth. The attention to detail is remarkable—every hobbit hole, garden, and prop is immaculately maintained, making the set feel alive and authentic. The guided tour is informative, blending behind-the-scenes stories with insights into how the set was created. The highlight is the Green Dragon Inn, where you can enjoy a refreshing ale or ginger beer brewed exclusively for Hobbiton. The staff are passionate and friendly, adding to the immersive atmosphere. Whether you’re a Tolkien fan or just enjoy unique, picturesque experiences, Hobbiton is worth the visit. It’s a truly enchanting destination that brings the magic of the movies to life!

Great trip, everything well organized. Good pick up in Rotorua, then great tour of Hobbiton, lunch was super nice (come hungry there is plenty of food). Waitomo was a great finish to an amazing day. Amazing guide Damian.

Long drive, but comfortable (sadly no wifi or charging ports). The driver Dave was great, and the guide Lars was informative and passionate. The movie set was spectacular. Lunch was delicious, and overall the day was fabulous.
