Where Is It Located?

All of the scenes in Hobbiton were filmed in Waikato, New Zealand, on a sheep farm that stretches out to 1,250 acres. Called the Alexander farm, it was a match made in heaven when Peter Jackson first laid eyes on it.

What Can You Do There?

If you manage to make it all the way out there, you’ll be wowed by the vivid green rolling hills and authentic Hobbit holes. You can even enjoy an ale at the Green Dragon Inn!

A Brief History

After the filming for Lord of the Rings wrapped up, the set was destroyed and left alone. But when the movies became incredibly successful, the fans expressed a strong desire to visit the Shire.

After The Hobbit trilogy was filmed in 2009, the production company made the decision to build permanent Hobbit Holes—44 to be exact. Knowing full well that fans would come from far and wide to visit, they created a full-on mockup of the real Shire. So what are you waiting for? It’s time for an adventure!

In the heart of New Zealand, just about a 2-hour drive from Auckland, there is a small agricultural town in the Waikato region called Matamata. It is the home to The Hobbiton Movie Set.

20 years ago, there was a big, not-so-easy search for the perfect rolling hills and lush green pastures of Hobbiton. The desired scenery was found at the Alexander sheep farm. Soon after, the 39 temporary Hobbit Holes were born with the help of the New Zealand army.

Today, it is a sanctuary for all The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit fans. For a memorable experience, you’ll be guided by a high professional tour guide.

One of the most popular tours is through The Shire at dusk, where at the remaining daylight your tour guide will escort you through the 12-acre site, telling interesting and fascinating anecdotes about the two trilogies.

Later in the evening, while the trails will be illuminated by path lighting, the guests will be provided with handheld lanterns. The breathtaking walk ends at The Green Dragon Inn, where the guests will receive a complimentary beverage from the Hobbit Southfarthing range. Also, the visitors will be treated to a banquet feast fit for a Hobbit.
