One of NZ's treasures, Hobbiton, in Matamata
Hobbiton - Lord Of Rings

Only 20 minutes from the Lazy Tramper, hides Hobbiton and the Shire (from the Lord of the Rings trilogy)!

A stunning piece of rolling farmland in Matamata was transformed into a part of Middle Earth for the movies. On your tour you'll see the Bag End (Frodo and Bilbo Baggins' home), 16 other Hobbit Holes, the party tree and film set memorabilia galore.

Tours of Hobbiton run five times daily.
