Tatsuno in Te Kuiti Te Kūiti, North Island, New Zealand
By radionut50 on 22-Nov-14. Waypoint GC5GX0Z

Day forty three of our epic New Zealand Adventure with The Morris.Our second day on the Timber Trail. Started about 8:30am and rode to about 1pm to drop off our bikes. We then drove to Te Kuiti.We only did a few of caches on the trail, and a couple when we arrived.An interesting little garden tucked away here.No fish in the pond though.Good to see this garden being well maintained.Thanks, Robmc.

We had a nice walk in this garden. The garden is nicely arranged, but does require some maintenance. TFTC!

Day 43 of our Enzed adventures with Robmc and today the fellas rode the second part of the Timber Trail while Lady Morris rested at the Lodge until pick up time then it was onto Te Kuiti. After settling into our accommodation we toured the town and refuelled the car and our supplies.A lovely garden and we have been surprised there isn't more hides like this in NZ - sure beats pill bottles in long grass.Thanks for contributing to an amazing holiday.

A lovely garden and the camellia will be in bloom in a couple of weeks - worth coming back to see it flowering.

Gorgeous little garden, TFTC!

Pulled into Te Kuiti today for a fuel break. Motorhome stopped and refused to carry on. Well, what can I do until tomorrow when the garage opens? Geocaching of course. TFTC

Wonderful smelling tree in flower. Quick find. Thanks

#897We decided to stop by a couple of caches while scoping out a place for dinner. I enjoyed the bit of serenity the Japanese gardens offered. Thanks for bringing us to this spot.

Felt a bit naughty going off track to get to the cache. Nice relaxing little park.

I'd had a DNF here about 5 years ago so it was good to stop off here while passing through the town this morning.This time the cache was a quick find and all in good order. Thanks very much for the cache.

Good hide, but don't have a pen on me

Great spot. Hint really helps

From Canada good hide!

Found it today, hint bang on . . . . . . TFTC, Beautiful gardens here, I am down this way with friends from Canada - and we have been on a lil road trip seeing some of the beautiful spots our country has to offer.

Stopped in Te Kuiti during our Motorhome travels, what an absolutely peaceful spot this is, and we found it

Adding a "maintenance" log to clear a DNF tag from an accidental DNF log by a cacher.

Beautiful garden and well maintained cache giving us respite on a day trip Auckland to Wellington. Tftc !! Sorry no pen as we didn't plan to go caching. Sent picture proof to co

Making our way from Hamilton to New Plymouth today - grabbed a few caches on the way. Parked nearby and started searching - took a little while but the cache was eventually spotted - log signed and all returned TFTCTim and Viv - ddm

Easy find. Never would have seen this nice garden with this cache. TFTC!

Oops, accidentally logged as dnf.

Found it on our way to Waitomo. Nice place. Tftc

Quick and easy find, tftc

Found it! Vial is easier to do up if you twist container and not lid. Thanks for this cache.

Cache replaced, sitting exactly as described in the very detailed hint. Happy hunting!

First to find since replacement thanks for the cache

We have noted the DNF logs, and hope to pass through town in the next few weeks. We wiill replace the hide then.

Dieser Cache konnte heute leider nicht erfolgreich geloggt werden.Danke an den owner fr's legen und pflegen TFTC Schmerzbefreit

Dieser Geocacher hat gemeldet, dass es ein Problem mit diesem Cache gibt.

DNF

No sign of it

String of DNFs the last couple of months.

Can't find

Looks like someone trimmed the tree and took the cache with them although i could have been looking in the wrong tree.

Dnf

Did not find. We have found it before but could it this time.

Find the right tree but there's nothing...

Found the attachment after some searching, but no cache on it or the ground.

Thank you. Our 6 year old found it. His very first one

Lovely garden

Pas facile !!!

We are visiting some nice locations during the month of august : Singapore, New Zeland, Hong-Kong and Macau.

A fantastic touristic and geocaching tour in these different countries. Thanks to all geocachers for all their geocaches.

Nice little corner of town .
Found the newish camo version, so didn’t keep looking for a possible zip tie? If there is one, cache wasn’t hanging on it.
Replaced in the same place found - as per clue in other respects . Thanks

Tftc. Come down to the farm to feed our while mums in hospital and doing some caches as a time filler. Cheers

Amazing cache

Between shopping and the departure of the bus there was still time to visit this miniature Japanese Garden.

Found with Nutty Nora. Note that the black zip tie has been replaced by a silver hook. Don’t waste your time looking for the black zip tie!

What a peaceful place. Needed the hint. Great camo. Found with Piwaka54

Thanks so much for the info about The Kuiti... I used to annually get a bus with my mum from Taumaranui to visit my aunt... The bus always stopped at the tea rooms... But that was as much as I ever got to see of the town... It was great to look around... Thanks for providing extra motivation with the caches as well as sharing about the history... Awesome thanks

Nice hide

neat little find! onto the next

A straightforward find after a lunch stop. Lovely garden. Thanks for placing the cache

Headed up to Tauranga today for Christmas. Stopped in Te Kuiti for a break and checked what caches were nearby. This was was just a short distance away. It was a reasonably quick find. #5646. TFTC.

Easy find

Great and easy find

Awesome little place, we have lived up the road in Hangatiki for 5 years and never visited this spot. Thanks

Found while visiting with the cache owner.
Lovely spot

Could find the tree but no cache!

Over visiting family over from the UK, Lovely garden, on our first search we couldn't find it. TFTC I can't remember if we replaced it temporarily for our nieces/nephews to find or replaced it fully or waited for co, i think we did a temp for kids then went back and signed once it was sorted, i just remember we definitely got it but kiddos overwrote my draft so unsure lol (Sorry for the very very late Log, between limited Data, some issues with our travel, some personal issues and a build up meaning the ADHD couldn't cope tackling these but finally getting logged Please forgive)

Wow what a cool cashe no zip tie tho

Great find
