I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in a prior reviewer note.
Hi RainbowJordy
This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).
I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.
Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.
Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.
Regards

I was expecting a tall clock tower and was wondering why I couldn't see it from a distance as I approached but once I arrived I understood why!
In view of the D/T rating this should be a straightforward cache but I note that there a string of DNFs. I didn't spend as much time, I had other caches to do but there seemed to be little point anyway- GPS was pointing to a very likely spot and nothing found. (Point and pointing are significant words here too- the Council seems intent on putting everything spiky here- is that to deter vandalism?
)
Definitely needs a CO check.

Found after we had completed the Ad Lab and found a place for a coffee. We drove past this while looking for a coffee spot and stopped on our way back. Waited out a cyclist taking a photo - luckily a quick snap.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Due to the MEGA postponement - DavidsonClan and I struggled to put together a weekend plan. The path of least resistance lead to a Squirrelnutcase & Fap'N'Gap adventure in Napier. My Alarm went off at 2:30am and caching started just before sunrise. We had an excellent day but due to a few DNF's - we'll be back. A big Thank You to the CO's for the virtual tour of your city.
This cache was found quickly and without fuss thanks to accurate coords and a straight forward placement. Had to be a little careful around all the spikes but managed to escape uninjured.

Long weekend plans to attend the Mega in Auckland we’re postponed due to lockdown in Auckland. We decided to do a day trip to Napier so it was an early start Philip.Perry picked me up just before 4am and we meet up with Squirrel Nutcase and Gap from Fap and Gap on the road out of Rotorua at 4am. Had a fairly mild day weather wise only a few DNF were logged the rest of the caches found mostly in good order. Thanks to all the CO’s for placing and maintaining your caches.
took us a while worried about dnf the same day but found it in a prickly ish spot and saw a cool ring signed the logbook and left the treasure
I think the black clouds looming in the horizon gave finding this cache some urgency.
While taking a stroll around the lagoon I decided to grab this one on the way. Certainly need to watch the thorns hiding the cache. Tftc
Interesting clock. The cache was a quick find, but we weren't too keen on walking through the plants. Thanks for the cache RainbowJordy, SunnyBunny64.
With Flowerydaze on a trip to Napier with our wine club and this one was on the list. A lovely day for caching. Pity we had to walk over the plants to get the cache. TFTC Rainbowjordy.

Decided rather last minute to head to the Hawkes Bay to do a bit of caching on the long weekend- it was late in the day to set out as we had a Birthday to attend first so didn't leave home in the BOP until 4.30pm. Located with one after a short search, thankfully under the cover of darkness! TFTC

One of nine caches located today on day 5 of our motorhome summer holiday to Hawkes Bay. Went for a bike ride from Awamoto, along the coastal cycleway up to the port and beyond, picking up seven caches along the way. Slightly uncomfortable about damage to plants with a cache hidden in this setting. I tried to cause as little damage as possible in looking for it. Took a brief moment or two before I spotted it! #3664. TFTC.
Second time visiting this spot, however our first time finding this cache! Didn’t have a pen so here’s a photo as proof!
We went on our first hunt and found it after a short search. Our 5 year old is very excited. Thanks
Originally I had a non-caching road trip planned for the weekend, but the year that wont stop 'giving' put a stop to that, so plans changed and today I ended up caching my way from Napier back to Wellington. All good here, TFTC
