Bright round doors in summery hues dot the lush, grassy hillsides of Hobbiton like wildflowers. Behind each doorway, comfortably appointed burrows wind into earth: each one home to a Hobbit, or a family of the Shire ?s rosy-cheeked little-folk.

Every Hobbit hole is unique, expressing the personality of its inhabitants with colour, prettily adorned gardens, furniture, and the rustic debris of everyday life. One of the few abodes tucked close to the water ?s edge, this Hobbit Hole allows a serene look out along the peaceful lake. Accompany this with the soft smell of lavender from the garden just outside the door and one could not wish for a more tranquil home.

This gorgeous little environment is an exacting miniature replica of the movie set that can be visited at Hobbiton in Matamata, New Zealand. It was designed by the same artists and craftspeople who worked on the movie.
