What a lovely farm for the whole family, not just for primary aged children, but also for teenagers and adults. Not much animals in the farm to hold and pet, but it was still a great experience.

We - a group of seven people plus our tour guide Kreig - had gone to Hobbiton last April 10, and despite the rainy weather, I have no regrets. Definitely worth the price because the whole experience, from pick up to drop off, was very personalised. Kreig, our tour guide, was a very enthusiastic, friendly and approachable guy who shared a lot of his knowledge. There were some snacks, refreshments and entertainment in the van that we used. Hobbiton itself looked spectacular whatever weather it is, I assure you. Glad we didn’t cancel our bookings at the last minute. Totally recommend Cheeky Kiwi Travel And its team! Thanks for the experience, you guys!

I had a perfect day, from start to finish. I loved the drivers commentary, he (Allan I think) was very knowledgeable about basically everything and kept me entertained during the bus ride. Hobbiton was amazing and the lunch was very yummy. Waitomo Caves was amazing too! All in all, don't think twice about going on this tour, just do it! You will be happy you did!

It was truly magical. Grant, our driver, was very nice and shared a lot of info about New Zealand and Hobbiton. He also helped me to take some photos. Our movie set guide Josh was very nice as well and also took a photo of me as well as other lovely people taking the tour with me. Overall it was an amazing tour and I would recommend it to everyone. The entire movie set has such lovely atmosphere and the hobbit holes (houses) are so adorable and beautifully done. I would just appreciate to have more time to just wander around because I take very long to take photos and videos and I was at the end of our group most of the time and probably missed some info Josh was sharing. But I understand that there are a lot of people coming to this place so we can’t really spend half of the day there. Josh never rushed us so it was up to us to catch up with the group or stay behind a few times to take amazing shots and admire the houses a little bit longer.

가는 길도 예쁘고 구경하는 재미가 쏠쏠함 양이며 말이며 소며... 도착할때까지 가이드가 쉬지않고 가이딩 하는데 조금 말을 줄이셔도 될듯... 날씨가 정말 중요함 호빗튼은 막찍어도 그림같고 영화속에 들어와있는것같고 와이토모도 신비하고 재밌는 경험이었음. 다만 모두 영어가이드라 견문의 차이는 있을듯 호빗튼과 와이토모에서도 자체 투어가이드가 있고 모두 친절하고 전문적이었다. 특히 와이토모 마오리 가이드 (남자) 노래도 불러줬는데 인상깊었다. 평일이고 한국인은 나뿐이라 조금 외로웠지만ㅋㅋ 추천!

My partner and I decided to visit for our date day and we weren't disappointed! There was an educational talk at the beginning and then we headed out to the paddocks. We first met the teenage alpacas who were super sweet and gentle, then we went on to meet the Llamas so that we could see the difference between the two animals and to also give us a gentle introduction into how cheeky they all behave! And then we met the large groups of alpacas. We had so much fun feeding them all and giving them pets, and of course we did get caught in some of the crossfire when it came to their spitting contests!

Took my son who is special needs to Cornerstone to experience the Walk-An-Alpaca Tour! & it was such an amazing and cool experience to experience! Our tour guide was amazing, super friendly and well knowledgeable! It was cool to see our tour guide follow my sons cue which was good, she even encouraged my son to feed the alpaca which was very rewarding for my son & I! We ended up getting a bag of trail food as my son wanted to hand feed them when our tour ended! Son said he wants to go back so we will definitely come back very soon!

It’s a non stop awesome day.. Firstly, we arrive a tad late (gotta look good for the alpacas). But the guide waited for us! It’s super nice of her. Next, we went for a briefing (safety and all) and start our close up one to one with the alpacas!! Let’s just say they do not know what personal boundaries is. LOL. Me and my partner had heaps of great moments and memories. And we’re coming again next week. Lol. Just can’t get enough of those super soft creatures!!

We had an awesome time on the Walk an Alpaca tour. Very knowledgeable and friendly guide who knew every animal by name and encouraged us to get to know and hug these adorable creatures. They are really well taken care of and are very friendly to humans, while each having their own unique personalities. We highly recommend this tour as everyone (both grown-ups and kids) came away beaming with smiles from this wonderful experience. Thanks Cornerstone Alpacas!
