🚪The Round Doors🚪

😁 OMG!.. 🙈 I love this set 😍 even though I haven't read nor seen any movies related to it & so.. when our tour guide asked if there was anyone on board who haven't seen the movies 🙄 I silently shied away & kept quiet about it 😛.

You'll feel like you've entered an enchanted land 🏰 way before you are even anywhere near the farm it's located on 🌳. To be precise, their info & ticket center itself has the same dainty-themed ambiance 😍.

No, this isn’t my fav pose , just trying to keep my hands warm 🤲

I still hold their entrance ticket & map as a souvenir & keepsake 😃

Finally when the set’s bus takes you to the farm 🏞️ it’s located on… here’s the sheer wonderful view 😍 you get to see…

Just few days before the end of our trip 🛫 to Auckland, we sat googling 👀 tourist spots to visit around & since then the lil fantasy, fairytale-ish lover in me 😍 had a real strong urge to visit The Hobbiton Set 😁 & Alhumdulilah, we were able to do so 😊.

And… if you haven’t figured out yet that this is gonna be an absolute 📸 picture-heavy post then here’s an explicit warning: Yup, This post is all about the photos coz let’s just be honest.. it’s just so beautiful 😍 to experience & lay eyes upon ❤️, SubhanAllah!

The Portal Into The Fantasy Land Of Hobbiton 😍

The yellow door ❤️..

Thanks to my Mommy dearest 🥰 , Some of my most amazing photos 📸 were taken here..

And here comes my fav candid pic of all time 😍…

🤔 In case you start wondering as to why am I there in almost every photo?, Well.. then it’s just coz the entire surrounding was so picturesque & everything seemed so pretty .. that I had to take snaps with everything & still feel like I missed a lot though.

Selecting photos for this post wasn’t an easy task 😏 but quite a daunting one, I tell you, coz every picture just seemed to top the other 😄. Even this lil bird’s nest looked uber-cute 😍.

Talking about birds… Here’s my bird eye view of the set

It so turns out that when I’m excited.. m pretty bad at posing but who cares the lil houses were just sooo beautiful

This cottage, right here, over the water next to the bridge seemed so scenic & serene ❤️ but the bright sunny day ☀️ made it difficult to get a good shot.

Here it is, from the other side. Reminds me so much of the Sleeping Beauty cottage…

I won’t be mentioning the factual details about the set as it’s easily available on their website for anyone to read through. All m gonna do is express my love 💖 & fascination for these lil whimsical cottages 🏡 like houses with round doors ahh… 😊 sounds so sweet & adorable.

Talking of sweet 😋, here are some sweet honey jars 🍯

🤩 Mwahaha.. I don’t think I can ever have enough of this cute set-up 🙈 that has, as silly as it sounds, given me life #goals 😛. My ideal home would tots be like one of these lil charming dwellings 😉 (future hubby, if you are reading this.. plz take notes, In’shaa’Allah). Well… at least the disc-shaped doors & windows would do ❤️.

If you are someone who likes such dreamy stuff then we sure can be good friends.

This, here’s suppose to be the party area. The tent & decor gives such a medieval feel.

Checkout these Signboards! Totally digging the fairytale ambience..

And this pathway for some reason reminds me of the Jurrasic era

Now this barrel shot makes for a cool background for posting something related to alcohol being prohibited.

Fishies, a lil fruit market and some pretty pumpkins..

By the round windows…

For some warm and fuzzy feeling, here’s a lil fireplace

Lemme read you a story by the fireplace…

Another outdoor party area outside the Green Dragon

I’d love to visit & snap more pix here again someday, In’shaa’Allah. And if you too get a chance to visit the Hobbiton, then dun worry it doesn’t really matter whether you’ve seen or read the movies or the books

Being in such an adorable & fanciful place that’s been created by mere humans does make me think about Jannah & how much more beautiful it’s gonna be .. as Allah, The Most Magnificent tells us in a hadith Qudsi:

“I have prepared for My righteous slaves (such excellent things) as no eye has ever seen, nor an ear has ever heard nor a human heart can ever think of.”

– Sahih Bukhari

A place so beautiful & beyond human imagination & conception, filled with all pleasures & delights that no wonder the following ponder point is mentioned multiple times in the Holy Quran

“Are you pleased with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But little is the enjoyment of the life of this world as compared with the Hereafter.”

– 9:38, The Noble Quran
