The one-and-only Hobbiton from 'The Lord of the Rings' is now on Airbnb
(YAHOO) – One of the coolest things about Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films is that if you travel to New Zealand, you can actually visit many of its real-life locations. But what if you could go a step further? What if you could live there?
At 4 p.m. EST on December 13, “The One-and-Only Hobbiton” located in Matamata, Waikato, New Zealand is going live on Airbnb. And the host isn’t kidding when they write “one and only.” It’s the actual, privately owned tourist location fans can visit and where Peter Jackson and his cast filmed not just the original Lord of the Rings films, but The Hobbit films as well. It’s the 10th anniversary of the first installment in that series, An Unexpected Journey, and that’s the inspiration for this incredible opportunity.

That’s the good news. The bad news is Hobbiton isn’t permanently becoming an Airbnb site. It will be open for exactly three two-night stays for a maximum of four guests at a time. But, if you do happen to lock in one of those dates (March 2-4, March 9-11, and March 16-18, 2023 are the dates in question) the experience will only cost about $6 per night, plus taxes, fees, and your own travel to and from. After that, you can still visit anytime, just not sleep there.
