Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

Those who love The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are probably well aware of this location already. It is called Hobbiton and it is better known as the “hobbit village” that was designed specifically for the film series.

It is situated on a 2,500-acre farm that is located in a small town in New Zealand known as Matamata. If you have ever wanted to experience The Shire for yourself, this is the perfect chance for you to do just that.

Hobbiton is now opening one of these homes to the general public and we are all ears. The Millhouse is a two-bedroom home that can house up to four people and you can now book a stay on AirBnB.

In addition to having access to this home, visitors are also going to have the chance to check out 44 Hobbit Holes, The Green Dragon Inn, and take in all sorts of spectacular views.

The green pastures and the lake are waiting for you! For longtime fans of the aforementioned books and films, this sounds like a dream come true. This is one of the best gifts that we could have received and we are more than happy to pass it along to all of our readers.

“For more than two decades, we’ve welcomed millions of passionate fans to Hobbiton Movie Set but never before has anyone had the opportunity to spend a night in Middle-earth. I am delighted to share the beauty of my family’s farm and pleased to be hosting this iconic location on Airbnb for fans from around the world,” says the Airbnb’s host, Russel Alexander, according to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution.
