The Best Place For A Holiday (Southland) Manapouri, South Island, New Zealand
By Tuitigger on 02-Jan-24. Waypoint GCAJ2AK

Needs replaced.

Only the container lid was found at GZ, with container itself missing.

We enjoyed a short walk in Manapouri today. The GZ was all quiet at the time of our visit. Found the lid of a sistema cache container, but unfortunately not the container itself nor its contents. It appeared that the cache had been muggled. Left a piece of waterproof paper as temporary log and signed it.Replaced the lid where found and covered it up a little with a small stone.*Thanks for the geocache placement, and for bringing us to this site, and **.T h a n k s. .f o r. .t h e. .c a c h e.**.M a u r u u r u. .k o e. .n u i. .a t u. .h o k i. .t e. .k e t e r o k i.*---### LET US HAVE A BLOCK PARTY!!! ###On **May 3rd, 2025**, we will be celebrating 25 years of geocaching in **Rotorua, New Zealand** with a special **Block Party** event.

We couldnt find it because of the water we guess

Easy find after 10min looking around.*TFTC*

Staying at the NZMCA park in town so getting a few caches around

A good wee adventure!

A fun one to find! A true adventure. TFTC.

Area a bit wet after last night's rain. Cache all good

Was here dropping bus load going to deep cove for week. So after parking bus in a close legal spot walked to gz. Somehow had a clue entered on GPS so was looking head high places and did not find it. On checking on the cache page saw no reference to cache location in the logs and no clue given by co. Hopefully have time to look again on Friday.Not claiming a dnf today.

Staying at manapouri for couple days, thought we would chase some caches.

Found it on a slightly dampish walk around the trail. Then discovered we didnt have a pen TFTC

Fun one to find, not too difficult, but not there in the open

Ms georatz scrambled to the right spot to find this one.

What a spectacular start in 2024. We had a wonderful 5 weeks trip around New Zealand South Island - Te-Wai-Pounamu. We saw a lot of fantastic places, met a lot of so friendly, relaxed and helpful people. The nature is gorgeous beautiful for me, I love it During our trip we also found some geocaches and saw very nice places also off the beaten tourist tracks.Found on our way to the doubtful sound boat trip.TFTCcassandra07

With a bit of climbing around we did manage to find it! Good wee hiding spot

We are going out to explore our world. Find new and special places around the world not only where we live. Therefore it was a pleasure to find your cache.thanks to Tuitigger for the cache.########################TFTChsErich

Found it with Laira007 at our todays Lake Manapouri visit. TFTC

Good views around here. Tftc.

What a fun place for a cache. We didnt expect to find this after seeing a dnf, but the kiddie in me went exploring further & after a bit of scrambling I spotted the sneaky hiding place. Thanks for placing this cache.

After a night and morning of heavy rain it was time to get out of the caravan for a wander before we head off tomorrow.Conned hubby into dropping me off at the cycle trail junction on supply road so I could cache my way back.Pretty soggy round hereTFTC

No find here

No luck for us here today after spending a considerable amount of time looking and looking and looking...to no avail

Wish I could get my muggle hubby to join up because he is very good at finding caches. Nice walk with friends but boy oh boy was it muggy. Guess who forgot the drink bottle. TFTC

Out for walk with friends lovely day for it good company Happy find tftc

FTF at 1426 on 7/1/24. Beautiful day for a cache in Manapouri. Took longer than it should have despite several sets of eyes looking for it. Lovely to meet some fellow geocachers also searching. Was sure I had been past the spot several times. It is a lovely view! Bring your sandfly repellant! TFTC.

Great find for the kids with a bit of help from a fellow hunter

Awesome spot with a great view. I loved searching for it with my family and some other fellow geocachers.
