HOBBITON MOVIE SET

Hobbiton is a must-see for any Lord of the Rings fan. Located just outside of Auckland, this movie set was used in both the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies. Visitors can tour the set, including Hobbit holes, gardens, and other features from the films. After the tour, stop by The Shire’s Rest Cafe for a bite to eat or pick up some souvenirs at The Green Dragon Inn.

The Hobbiton Movie Set is by far the most popular LOTR film set, nestled on scenic private land situated close to the tiny town of Matamata on the North Island. You can indeed explore the private farm where 'The Shire' was built and witness all the sites where the movie was shot.

This is by far one of the most fascinating places to visit in Auckland as one can see the iconic Hobbit holes during the guided Hobbiton tours, together with the Mill and The Green Dragon and other things from the LOTR series.
