We attempted to find this cache on our way to Stony Batter but were not successful. We thought we might try again on our way back out, but there was a wedding party having photos on the seat and we did not think they would appreciate us crawling around the fenceline behind them so we left it for another day
Had a really good search which turned up nothing. Found a set of small rocks which seemed a likely hiding spot, but this proved up nothing. Will have to comeback next time I go to Waiheke
Echoing previous log, can't find anything. Possibly some broken plastic fragments under stones. Regardless had a nice lunch at Man O' War and a beautiful view 
Unfortunately it looks like this one has been muggled. Some suspicious rocks are under the hint object but no cache beneath them.
Had a good hunt around and no luck finding it 
did find this squirrel tho where I thought the cache was - not sure if he's related
did find this squirrel tho where I thought the cache was - not sure if he's related#1 for the day! What a view! Hint....read the clue! Haha! Then....take a seat and soak it in! Incredible. TFTC!
Enjoying a couple of days on the Island and decided to make the washboard drive out this way. We sure enjoyed the views after finding the container. Launched a traveler. Let's how long it takes to move along. SL TN TFTC!
Visiting Waiheke for a family wedding, doing a bit of exploring and cache hunting. Nice views here and a quick find. Thanks for the cache
Found it on a sunny Sunday while visiting Waiheke Island. Great view from GZ. TFTC
On the island for the garden weekend so had to find at least one. Thanks for placing
My first cache in NZ! Log not physically signed due to too many muggles. Thanks to the hubby for explaining the clue!
On our way to the Stonybatter. I quick stop with a beautiful view! Thanks for hiding
Another day with the family & the Cronje’s, this was perhaps my (dad’s) easiest find ever! Stood by the road & pointed to my eldest son where I guessed the “under the angle” clue was! Beware of the spider & look for Mary with her little lamb.
We came from the stone Batterie and stopped for this cache. What a great view!
TFTC and greetings from Germany.

Cache was open and lid won’t shut and half full of water so couldn’t fill in the log
I was in the area and could not say no to an extra cache. Lovely view from the seat. The log book was very wet, and I could not sign it so took a photo of the cache container. Thanks FMZ
Defiantly shaken at the moment , poor little pot needs tlc , too wet to log so took photo
Almost left Waiheke without a cache! First time being back in Man O'War with my gf in 3 yrs since the first time I ever visited NZ and she was someone I was internationally dating haha. Managed to sign it despite being really wet and kinda gross inside and out.
Really think this needs some TLC bc the container lid is only being held on on one of 4 sides. Really muddy wet inside and covered in spiderwebs outside. One of two logs seems unrecoverable from outside of the bag
Quick find on the way to Man o’ War vineyard. Definitely shaken, but quite dry, too. All done and dusty... TFTC!
What a gorgeous view from here. The clue was crucial so thanks! Container was a bit broken but contents were ok. Thanks!
Wondefull drive around the island today with some excellent weather - truly spectacular view from GZ and a quick find!

I found this cache with Piytulino during our holiday in New Zealand. This day we visited Stony Batter and stopped on our way to find this cache and to admire the great view from the geo location. TFTC and greetings from Hungary.
Found it!!! On our rainy day exploring the island. Quick stop enjoying the view. Was a quick find. Container needs some TLC. Thanks for the hide
The grader had nearly reached there so the name is a little less relevant just now.
Having three days break from **orienteering** at Oceania Championships before World masters.

Easy find and full of water. Obviously not just the road has suffered the effects of last weekend's Cyclone Cook. Added waterproof replacement log and new bag in order to sign the log. TFTC
Yes, our red wine is no shaken, not stired
Whilst my boyfriend stayed in the car taking pics of the view I went off to look for this one. It took me a while to understand the hint, but then found it quite quickly. Thanks from Switzerland in New Zealand

Wandering around Waiheke grabbing caches as we go. Having been out to Man O War cache, we stopped for this one on the way back. A quick find, SL and left as found. Log was a little damp but could still be signed - Great views too. Apply named given the drive out here. Thanks for the placement funkymunkyzone.
Out for a drive only to find my pq didn't quite make it to Stony Batter. This one was a quick find and I always love a cache with a great view. Would love to paddle this coastline one day. Tftc
gave cache a clean up was a bit slimey but all good now aroha and happy caching tftf
In Auckland and Waiheke celebrating daughter's 40th birthday. One of a few found with little blue hen between events. Stopped here to enjoy the view on the way to man of war winery for late lunch but didn't bother checking the gps. Had intended to do the earthcache nearby but fading light put a stop to that so nabbed this on the way back to our accommodation and a feed of local oysters. TFTCSL
Found with bkj97 on a roadtrip to Auckland/Waiheke/Coromandel and back home after celebrating our daughter's 40th birthday. T4TCSL (apologies for any repetitive logs) Thanks to all the COs for giving us some breaks while traveling or an excuse to explore where we were staying.
Forgot to log visit back in April. Spent the weekend on the island very cool place. what a great view

Re-visiting Waiheke Island for the first time since my arrival in NZ 4 months ago!
Alistair took us on a drive to east end of Waiheke. We were still wondering about the cache name when we had already found it, and then he got it! But the reason we did not at the beginning, is that the road has been recently bulldozed to make things less shaken
Thanks for the cache!

Our wine tour group stopped here briefly for a photo op, so we ran over to take a quick look for the cache, but couldn't spot it. Oh well, at least we found the winery shortly thereafter, and soon forgot about caching. 
Brilliant views from this gz. Thanks for bringing us here. Worth the visit from Scotland

Spending a fabulous day first time on that island, we had to come here to enjoy your cache and the chosen place - just great
And what a view!

Easy find. Looking a bit suspect though when I presume property owners turned up. Managed to play with the phone diversion so all good. Magic day on the island here today. TFTC.
Nice find on the way back from Man-O-War winery with grandam, pushtotalk and incasaurausrex. (No pen)
A quick find for us on the way to Stony Batter and beyond..... a great location to enjoy the view on a superb spring day. TFTC!
Was on the Island with stik-a-crane having some R&R and remembering my brother.... staying for a few days at a friends batch....
sorry for the late logging.

We were over on the Island for some R&R with young EIR-0T and headed out this way caching and sight seeing... had to wait a little for a parking spot as the weather was outstanding for this time of year.
I learnt to drive on this sort of road so took me back a ways to all the fun we would make on them.... Nice quick find as there was a constant flow of mugglers, but they seemed to be more fixated with the view....

Quite a different day to our usual outings to beautiful Waiheke. Cold and very windy. Certainly no sign of dust from the road. Bright sun, though! Found the cache using just the co ords. NINO TFTC
Windy spot! Great view from the seat wouldn't of come down this road if it wasn't for the cache tftf!
On Waiheke Island for the Easter weekend and decided to collect a few caches.
A quick find after a dusty drive up a windy road!

Beautiful view. We were sitting on the bench and then I said to my wife why don't we geocache while the kids are away. And wholla! There was a geocache on the other side of the road. Brilliant.
Amazing scenery. Great views. Very windy and nearly had a hat casualty down the cliff. TFTC.
Some foreign muggles parked close by but we had this covered for a quick find and getaway.
On the island for the weekend and went on a bit of a tiki tour to get this cache! Thanks for placing it!
