What is it:
The Hobbit Motel located at Woodlyn Park in Waitomo, New Zealand.

What’s so special:
Walk in Frodo’s footsteps and experience the Shire (without the threat of orcs and goblins) in a complex that started out as a humble working farm. While you may at times feel like you’re somewhere in Middle Earth, both units include the modern conveniences of kitchen and toilet/ shower facilities and can house up to six people.

The details:
Visit the Woodlyn Park website, where you can make a booking. The current price for two people is NZ$200 per night (roughly €113) and NZ$20 per extra person.

Getting there:
Fly to Hamilton airport from Dublin with Air New Zealand, and then drive for around 45 minutes to Woodlyn park.
