Matamata is the ultimate pilgrimage village for fans of The Lord of the Rings. A small village on the edge of the Kaimai Range, it has seen an unprecedented boom in tourism since the release of the first part of Peter Jackson's trilogy, The Fellowship of the Ring. It's home to Hobbiton, the best-preserved of all the filming locations, but also the most representative of the country, with its green hills stretching as far as the eye can see. If you come to the region, don't miss the superb natural attractions of Kaimai Mamaku Forest Park, including the splendid 153-metre-high Wairere Falls.
