Hobbiton™ Movie Set

Go to the long-awaited fantasy village of Hobbit near the town of Matamata in the Waikato area of the North Island to shoot the Lord of the Rings series and the filming base of the Hobbit. There is a unique Hobbit cave, a fairy tale-filled building and layout, as if from the fantasy of the world, let people feel like in a dream. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it is located in the pasture, with a wide meadow, quiet stream, showing a peaceful atmosphere.

Due to our time limited my husband and I spend only one hour there. It’s nice and we wish we have more time so we can finish the whole park which will take 3 hrs.

Take a tractor tour of Rotorua's Royal Ranch, enjoy yourself. See a variety of cows, sheep, red deer and wild boars and other stocking animals, and experience the unique pasture life of New Zealand. Among them, intimacy interaction with Mianyang, alpaca, etc., their cute and clingy look, push the joy of travel to the climax wow.

Polynesian Spa – Rotorua’s Hot Spring GemIf you’re ever in Rotorua, do yourself a favor and carve out some time for Polynesian Spa. This place is pure bliss. Nestled right on the lakefront with gorgeous views of Lake Rotorua, it’s the perfect mix of relaxation and that classic geothermal magic the region is famous for.There are a few different pools to choose from, depending on what kind of experience you’re after. The Deluxe Lake Spa is stunning—seriously, soaking in the mineral-rich hot po
