The Hobbit Hotel

Filmed throughout New Zealand, there are over 150 locations throughout the country. From Mordor to Dimholt Road, to Dimrill Dale and Hobbiton, all of these famous spots can be found on a tour of New Zealand. But by far one of the most popular tourist attractions for Lord of the Rings Fans is Hobbiton. 

‍

That’s right! You can take a step right into the Lord of the Rings Trilogy with a tour of the Hobbiton Movie Set. Here you’ll have the chance to explore famous Hobbiton places like the Green Dragon Inn, the Party Tree, and even the Hobbit Holes. 

‍

But here’s the best news - you can stay in a Hobbit Hole yourself!

The Underhill Valley Earth Huts

‍

Okay, so technically they aren’t the real hobbit holes - you won’t find these in the Lord of the Rings series. Still, you’d never know the difference. The Underhill Valley Earth Huts look just like real hobbit holes, and can give you an overnight experience unlike any other. 

‍

Located in Hamilton, New Zealand, the Earth Huts are just a short drive from the Hobbiton Movie Set. This beautiful cave-style house has been built into the earth and designed to look just like a Hobbit Hole. With handcrafted native timbers, unparalleled stonework, and an underground earthy feel, this hotel will have you feeling like you just stepped into the Lord of the Rings movie. 

‍

Of course, the scenery isn’t so bad either. Step outside your door and enter a fairytale village full of ponds, weeping trees, and farmlands. Set yourself up a little candlelight dinner on the dock and you have yourself the perfect setting for a little romance too!
