Nestled in the picturesque pastures of New Zealand’s Waikato region on a 1,250 acre working farm, the property’s rolling, green hills – with striking similarity to The Shire as described by J. R. R. Tolkien in The Lord of the Rings – captivated Sir Peter Jackson’s movie scouts more than two decades ago, and has captivated thousands of visitors since. Your stay will be in The Millhouse, which has been transformed to accommodate four guests in Hobbit-inspired rooms.
