Spend a night in Middle-earth, in Hobbiton? Now you can. Airbnb opens mini-door to Bilbo's cave in the Shire, for two nights of adventure
No, you are not reading the preface to a new found essay edited by J.R.R. Tolkien. Airbnb is giving a gift to all fans of The Lord of the Rings who are now back in Middle-earth thanks to Amazon Prime's newest production, The Rings of Power, now in the works for a second season. Let's say, rather, that for aficionados of the hobbits, and specifically the Baggins family, this opportunity is a daydream.
To submit a reservation request, you will need to have a verified Airbnb profile, a track record of positive reviews and be over 18 years old. If you are successful, you will be able to travel with four people-ironically, just like Frodo, Sam, Pippin, and Merry-because the accommodation has one double bed and two single beds, but you will have to pay for the flight to Auckland, while Airbnb will take care of the car transfer. Think of it Baggins-style: if you win, you are about to go on an epic adventure.
