    Good stay, rather quite hobbit place, for LOTR fans must visit, nice BBQ, bed rather short for 190cm people but it's fine cause it's for hobbits. Watch out for the cat who likes to claim the living room space. Good self made breakfast from ready...

    Perfect stay for something a bit different and Cosy. Bonus if you are a cat person, as we had a friendly visitor with our stay. Johan was friendly on arrival and the breakfast on point.

    It’s a hobbit hole! It’s escapism at its finest and a great way to end a day at Hobbiton. Johan is a great host too

    Very good for fans of Lord of the Rings- the wooden art and also the hobbit house was so real and made you feel like you were living in Hobbiton itself! Breakfast provided and delicious. Clean and good facilities 👌 host was very helpful.

    Everything’s just perfect, we had an amazing stay at Johan’s place. A brand new BBQ was just added so we were lucky to be able to enjoy a great dinner at the Hobbit Hole. Thanks again Johan we will definitely come back if we return to New Zealand.

    Our night in the Hole in the Ground was truly magical and unforgettable. From grilling steaks while watching the sunset, to roasting marshmallows by the fire, to getting cosy and watching The Hobbit, every moment felt special. As big Lord of the...

I build the Hobbit hole just because I wanted one. It's very rustic and partly in a hill. Everything is Hobbit size, nice and cosy. Ideal for a romantic night out. I nice breakfast is supplied with mostly home made jams, bacon and eggs(from our own chickens) very quiet. ample parking space.
I very much like hosting and see people enjoying the Hobbit hole. I'm a Luthier (musical string instruments maker) and give courses guitar making.
