Heart of New Zealand In Heart of New Zealand, we begin back in time, in an era of proud warriors and ancient traditions with Tamaki Maori Village, the most award-winning cultural attraction in New Zealand. Then we step through Hell's Gate and experience the country's most unique geothermal occurrence. Eager to catch our breath, we lose it walking amongst the breathing majestic giants at Redwood Tree Walk. And finally, arrive in Hobbiton. Yes, that Hobbiton of lore.
