Your next holiday: Hobbiton in New Zealand is available to book on on Airbnb

A sweeping view of Hobbiton in New Zealand

If you’ve ever wanted to hibernate in the side of a hill behind a super charming round door, then this is the news you’ve been waiting for. Hobbiton is now rentable. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey from the mind of J. R. R. Tolkien, Hobbiton is available to book only on Airbnb! Those keen can book one of three exclusive two-night stays available for fans around the world, and explore the behind-the-scenes making of the film trilogies that have become an unexpected holiday classic. Nestled in the picturesque pastures of New Zealand’s Waikato region on a 2,500 acre working farm, the property’s rolling, green hills – bear a striking similarity to The Shire™ as described by J. R. R. Tolkien in The Lord of the Rings, and captivated Sir Peter Jackson’s movie scouts more than two decades ago. The team quickly realised the Hobbits had found their home – and this holiday season, it could be yours.  Alexander will host three individual two-night stays for up to four guests at NZD $10 per night* as an homage to the 10th anniversary of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, courtesy of Airbnb.  With access to 44 Hobbit Holes, The Millhouse, The Green Dragon Inn, and other beloved locations from the work of J.R.R. Tolkien, guests will take an unexpected journey into Middle-earth for an experience unlike any other.  For more, head to the Airbnb website
