Lindsay’s place is THE BEST (hands down, period) accommodation if you’re doing Hobbiton. As the description says, it is literally down the road (as in, you can actually see the entrance and the tour buses going in and out of the entrance to the shire across the road) from the home and it’s absolutely stunning. I would recommend coming before sun down so you can take in all the views from the home which are basically an extension of the beautiful hills of Hobbiton itself. You can’t get closer. We were so thankful after our evening tour to drive 2 min down the road back to this spacious, spotless home with so many modern amenities. Liz is so friendly, responsive, and helpful (I left something at her home and she’s been an angel in making arrangements). Do yourself a favor if this place is still available, BOOK IT! You’ll get to watch all the less fortunate folks start their long drives back to Rotorua or Auckland from the comforts of the huge porch.
