Reviews: Rotorua: One-Way Trip to Auckland via Hobbiton & Waitomo
Guest User2026-01-13
Our one-way trip from Rotorua to Auckland was incredibly well coordinated. Bush and Beach handled all logistics with ease. Both excursions lived up to the expectation set and our guide Damian was so knowledgeable and entertaining for the driving in between!★

Reviews: From Auckland, New Zealand: Hobbiton™ Movie Set Tour (with Auckland Hotel Transfers)
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!★

Guest User2024-06-26
This was an amazing tour, Adil was very friendly and gave excellent advice. Be sure to research the weather for Hobbiton as it is a fully outdoor tour. Be prepared for a long day! Totally worth it!Trip.com Picks
