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!★

Reviews: From Rotorua: Hobbiton Movie Set Tour with Festive Lunch
Guest User2026-02-17
Great trip we would have been happy to go directly to Hobbiton on our way out of Roturua but tickets sold out months in advance - guessing it is preferred that people go by coach and have the “festive” lunch. Despite the very wet weather we thoroughly enjoyed the day. Our driver was entertaining to say the least (named nutter!) & our guide at Hobbiton was a lovely young lady who was very knowledgeable. The farm is very well set up for rain ☔️ even providing umbrellas 🌂 it was really interesting talking to other travellers too. We had plenty of photo opportunities & time to visit the gift shop too. Would definitely recommend★
