Airbnb is on a roll when it comes to iconic stays that celebrate movie releases. Before Halloween, it gave us the one-night stay in the Sanderson sisters’ cottage from Hocus Pocus. Now, to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of another popular film, it’s heading to New Zealand.
On March 2-4, March 9-11, or March 16-18 of next year, up to four guests at a time will get the opportunity to stay in Hobbiton, the fictional town where the hobbits live in the Lord of the Rings. The actual location is Matamata, Waikato, New Zealand, where the movie adaptations were filmed. This one-time offering is to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the release of An Unexpected Journey, the first installment in The Hobbit films.
