From outside, these two self-contained underground dwellings look like they have come straight from Tolkien’s Middle-earth. Don’t worry if you’re not three foot tall with hairy feet, everyone is welcome at the Hobbit Motel. This unusual motel was built using polystyrene blocks, keeping it cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Each Hobbit unit is built into the hillside, much like the hobbit holes from ‘The Lord of the Rings’, and can accommodate up to six people.The Hobbit Motel, New Zealand
