Not too far from the city of Matamata, Peter Jackson spotted a patch of greenery which was converted to what we’ve known as the Hobbiton, in the “Lord of The Rings” trilogy.
Approximately 2 hours drive from Auckland; it reminds us of how much we love the movie! From here on, it sets my mind to explore the southern part of New Zealand, it is famous for its dramatic landscape and a Jackson’s pick too!
