Spend the night in the actual Hobbiton village from Lord of the Rings 🧙🏼‍♀️ 🍄

Pirates, have you dreamt of waking up in Middle Earth?

If you're a huge Lord of the Rings fan or love the look of Earthen homes (don't we all?), then this experience is right up your alley. While the Hobbiton movie set has been open to the public for daytime tours since the early 2000s, the opportunity to actually sleep in Hobbiton has never been offered, until now.

To celebrate the 10th year anniversary of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Russell Alexander, the owner of the property, is inviting guests to stay the night and experience Hobbiton like never before. The best part is this experience could be yours for as little as $10 NZD or ~£5 a night!
