Experience the magic of Middle-earth™

About us

Hobbiton Movie Set is an experience to tantalise the senses of visitors from all across the globe, as guests find themselves engulfed in the sights, smells, sounds and tastes of The Shire™, at the home of the Hobbits™, as featured in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies. The extraordinary following that the movies have amassed has led to our tours becoming a 'must-see' while travellers are in New Zealand. Hobbiton Movie Set is the only set that remains intact from the trilogies, acting as a living monument to Middle-earth, allowing our visitors to fully immerse themselves in the wonders of The Shire. Visitors are given the once in a lifetime opportunity to see an iconic movie set in its full glory; from wandering the rambling paths of The Shire, to seeing the submerged Hobbit Holes that litter the rolling hillsides. Tours depart daily from the Shire's Rest Cafe, 501 Buckland Road Matamata and from the Matamata & Rotorua i-SITEs. Winner of the Business Excellence Award – annual turnover more than $6 million; the Tourism Marketing Campaign Award; and the inaugural People's Choice Award at the 2016 Tourism Industry Awards.

    It has been one week, since the grand opening of Bagshot Row™ which was a milestone moment for Hobbiton Movie Set and we were thrilled to have shared it with so many of our industry partners, supporters and friends. An enormous thank you to all who attended the event as well as those who sent well wishes from afar.   We look forward to welcoming our visitors from near and far to explore the interiors of a humble Hobbit’s home for years to come.

    For two decades, our experience has journeyed past the external Hobbit Hole facades left behind from the filming of the trilogies, leaving many visitors to wonder what could lie beyond… We are thrilled to now be welcoming visitors beyond the door and into the humble home of a Hobbit on Bagshot Row! This extraordinary addition to our tours fulfils a long held dream for all of us, promising to immerse our visitors into the authentic interiors of a Hobbit Hole. Bagshot Row is now a part of all tour experiences at Hobbiton Movie Set, offering an authentic glimpse into the charming dwellings of Hobbits going about their daily lives in the Shire. We look forward to sharing this unforgettable, one of a kind Middle-earth experience with you. #bagshotrow #hobbiton #hobbitontours
