NEW FEATURE - Number One House has even more to appeal for you - Hobbitton in the Heart of Auckland

Lord of the Rings fans, come and visit a real Hobbit House!  We have a Hobbit House snuggled into the bank, on the path down to the water. Rated by a visitor (who was a cast member of the 'Lord of the Rings') as 'totally cool - very Hobbitish!' An  roof over the top (with chimney and toadstools) is now covered in  shells. plants, and herbs for the table The house looks out onto the Waitemata Harbour (maori for 'sparkling waters') which lives right up to its name, as the morning sunlight dapples through the pohutukawa trees. 
If you write, paint or meditate, the Hobbit House is very U !! 

Wonderful- Mrs Bracegirdle, the motherly Hobbit in Lord of the Rings, has just paid a visit to the Hobbit House

Something else (yes, there is MORE?) Fancy wiling away an hour or three? We have also just finished a two person swinging seat (complete with drinks table of course) and overlooking the harbour. 

Shall we tell you that there is also a Monarch butterly breeding program here, or should we just let you find out for yourself?

And a collection of small but very nosy dragons live down there - You will only see them IF you believe in dragons. Stories have been written about them and they now have friends the world over!
