The room equipment is new and clean, and the location is very convenient. There are many fast food chains, restaurants, and supermarkets within a few minutes' walk. The staff are also very helpful and friendly. There is also a large private spa pool outside the room that can be used, which is super enjoyable under the stars at night.

The tour was well thought out and a great tour for those that have seen the movie and those that have not. It was like stepping into another world. Our tour guide was very charismatic.

When you arrive in New Zealand, you have to visit the Maori Village and this geothermal valley! Their lunch is quite rich and much improved from 20 years ago!

When you come to New Zealand, you must go to Maori Spring. After visiting Maori Spring, you should take a hot spring bath, but 20 years ago it was only $20. Today, 20 years later, in 2024, it has risen to $75. It’s really expensive, but it’s still an attraction worth visiting!

The on-site ticket exchange is very fast. Habib Village is a very worthwhile attraction in North Island. Fans of the Lord of the Rings can’t miss it. The trip time is a bit short, and two hours is not enough time to visit.

It is a must one-time visit to Hobbiton when you go to New Zealand. Our tour guides from our Cheeky Travel and Hobbiton gave us a lot of good-to-know and facts about New Zealand and Hobbiton / Lord of the Rings. No spoilers from me!
