Our Story
We moved to New Zealand in 2016 and fell in love with its bright green landscapes (we lived in Invercargill for some time and then moved to Auckland).
New Zealand has everything that makes you inspired and excited - mountains, rivers, oceans, bushes, white clouds of sheep, national parks and more!
Hello everyone! Here's a few words about the people behind Treasures of New Zealand.
Here we are - Anton, Anna and baby Leo, our growing treasure.
After travelling around the South island and the North Island, we got excited too and had an idea about a travel scratch map of New Zealand! In 2019 our North Island Edition was born and then in 2021 we launched our South island Edition, plus our best selling Duo Set.
We can assure you our travel scratch maps are designed with love. Love to explore the treasures around you (we've put over 100 treasures across both islands for you to discover - dare to scratch them all?).
Our maps are great for your family road trip when your kids will have fun scratching the icons! However, don't hesitate, the Maps will bring some joy to an adult traveler too!
We value the sustainable side of our product and try to 'grow' our maps locally. Packed in recyclable tubes made from recycled cardboard sourced in NZ, our maps are 100% made in New Zealand!
Now open your map, take a coin (or anything else), scratch the silver overlay off the icon and reveal the beautiful colourful illustration underneath! Let your adventure begin!
Our Creative Team
Meet our creative team - two sisters, twin minds! The head (Anna) and the hands (Dasha)!
All colourful illustrations featured on the Maps are hand drawn by our illustrator Dasha (we looooove bringing joy with colours!).
Dasha has travelled New Zealand extensively and has seen the beauty with her own eyes, so all her drawings are based on pure inspiration!
Dasha’s personal favourites are the milk foam of Huka Falls, the bold red colour of a Pohutukawa tree, and big waves of the ocean.
