About 2021 Holiday at Home Set of Mint Stamps:

Kiwis country-wide are being encouraged to give domestic tourism a go and take the opportunity to discover something they’ve never seen before, be wowed by New Zealand’s spectacular natural wonders or simply find new ways to have fun.

With a play on the classic road trip game ‘I spy’, these nine charming stamps highlight some of the major holiday hotspots and hidden gems of Aotearoa New Zealand.

The Stamp Sheet of 9 Stamps titled - "HOLIDAY AT HOME" each stamp of $1.40 (Dollars - NZD)

$1.40 I spy ‘M’ for Mount Taranaki, Taranaki - New Zealand’s contrasting landscapes and geological wonders are one of the best reasons to travel the length of the country. Mount Taranaki is a perfectly formed dormant volcano, pleasing to look at and New Zealand’s most frequently climbed peak.

$1.40 I spy ‘K’ for Kiwi, Stewart Island – Although we’re named after them, most New Zealanders have never seen a kiwi in the wild. Rakiura/ Stewart Island is one of the only places in Aotearoa where you can see these usually nocturnal birds in daylight.

$1.40 I spy ‘S’ for Stargazing, Tekapo - Lake Tekapo is well known as one of the best places in New Zealand to stargaze – one can get an even better look at the cosmos through the Mount John observatory telescope.

$1.40 I spy ‘D’ for Dolphins, Akaroa – Among other amazing sea life, Akaroa is where one can spot the world’s smallest and rarest dolphin – Hector's dolphin.

$1.40 I spy ‘T’ for Treaty Grounds, Waitangi – New Zealand’s most important historic site is a must-see for all Kiwis, with enough to explore for one or two days. Including museums, a carving studio, the Treaty House, Te Whare Rūnanga (Carved Meeting House), traditional Māori waka taua (war canoes) and a full programme of tours and cultural performances.

$1.40 I spy ‘L’ for Lighthouse, Wairarapa – Several of New Zealand’s charming classic lighthouses can be viewed on various parts of the Wairarapa coastline.

$1.40 I spy ‘G’ for Gardens, Hamilton – The Waikato’s most popular tourist attraction is a collection of immaculately kept gardens that explore the history, context and meaning of gardens around the world.

$1.40 I spy ‘C’ for Canoeing, Whanganui – Float down New Zealand’s longest navigable river in a canoe or kayak and visit the Bridge to Nowhere.

$1.40 I spy ‘B’ for Boats, Marlborough Sounds – Fishing, cruising and water sports are all at your fingertips in the beautiful Marlborough Sounds.
