Lovely walk but didn't find this one. Reading back through the log seems I must be missing something...
It looks like my cache has been muggled. I’m overseas at the moment so will archive it until I return and can replace it. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Good Fun! we almost gave up after 5-10 minutes. Though it was very rewarding when we found it.
I went with a couple of friends because they never did it.
It was an easy find.
T.f.t.C.

Just checked...it's still there and currently has a Diabetes Travel Bug in it.
Heck of a storm over last few days made the track very slippety but we found the cache after a few minutes', TFTC.
In Auckland and Waiheke celebrating daughter's 40th birthday. One of a few found with little blue hen between events. TFTCSL
Nice bush walk. 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.
Went to Waiheke Island with KirsTim to tackle some of the caches there. Another walk for the day! Soon had the cache in hand, thanks for showing us some more of the island.
Across on the island for business and ended up with a couple of hours spare between appointments. Perfect opportunity to take a walk and tick off another cache or two. Very enjoyable walk in the bush. TFTC.
Forgot to log visit back in April. Spent the weekend on the island very cool place.
#101. #23 @ Auckland. Very quiet here today so I though I could cycle to the GZ, however , soon realised it would be better on foot. Arrived at the GZ with a jumpy GPS and initially started looking elsewhere. However reading the clue again I spotted a small shrub and there I found the cache. TFTC
The second geocache Te Motu homeschool group found in one day! Geocaching has taken us to so many beautiful places on the island. Took some treasures, left some treasures.
Beautiful walk to GZ with great view from the top ( you'll know what I mean!)
Sorry no trackable in cache!
Left lapel pin and card, took nothing TFTC.

Rode here with bicycle And I took an alternative entry point - from Wilma road.
The box took some searching as I was beating around other bushes at the beginning.
Thanks for the cache! Greetings from Latvia!

Late log
Hired a bike for the day to explore the island again.
More fun than the bus.
It was a mountain bike so straight down the hill.
There was a mother and child close by so had a chat and a quick find when they left.
Took a different route out.

Fifth find of the day, our second day on waiheke. Lots of tuis making pretty noises as we found and signed the log. TFTC

Came back to find this cache after a failed first attempt. Great place to take your dogs for an adventure. Tftc
Another find by Phil. 11 out of 11 today. First time ever got 100% success rate. Almost time for a beer!! TNLN SL TFTC
Our first cache for the island, and we approached this from the wrong end initially, not bothering to read starting waypoint. Thigh high waders would have been needed had we not realised to read description properly. We saw a few muggles but none we least needed them. Took 2 TBs, left a tb.tftc
I had a very busy social schedule during my stay on the island but wanted to leave the travel bugs I had with me somewhere in New Zealand. I ignored the parking co-ordinates so took the long way to GZ but it was a pleasant walk. After a brief search I found the cache and dropped 2 x TB. TFTC.

The ogilvies found this one in the awesome te toki reserve - tessa eagle eye found it again!! Good clues!
On Waiheke Island for the Easter weekend and decided to collect a few caches.
Had some doubts about whether we would find this one after the previous DNFs recorded on the cache page. That said, after a short walk, found it straight away at GZ! Glad we gave it a crack!

My first Waiheke cache!
Out here using the great Autumn weather improving the Osm map for the island, a gorgeous way to spend day!
Thx for bringing me here, tftc

We tried locating it, running towards it from the south...cache well surrounded my swamp despite google map's greenery. Suspect northerly is a drier way. We got 200m close to it...doh.
Found while out for our walk. Now which green bush should we be looking out for. Took a little while but we got there in the end.
hint could use some updating, in a place full of small green bushes! also, the plant we found it in is not a bush!
Had to hunt through a few green bushes, but found it before too long. Thanks for the cache!
Most enjoyable walk to GZ. logged with Team WElsh and Chosen 1978. this is such a beautiful Island to visit thanks.
Out on Waiheke Island for the day with chosen1978, Butchie Bum and us. Once we had the rental car it was off to conquer an island. After a lovely walk around the edge of the field this cache was soon located. Great to see some open area where dogs are welcome. TFTC
Lovely to get out of the car and go for a walk to discover this cache, logged find with Mrs Team Welsh and Butchie Bum
Wahoo! !! Found it. Took us a couple of walk pasts to find thee green bush. Hahahaha. Don't have pen so will have to come back later to actually sign the book. Nice hiding spot.
Out for a day's caching with Me N R Lass. Hmmm. The GPS pointed to the green grass. Hint said the green bush. Hmmm, lots of green bushes. Nothing for it but to do a creeping expanding search. Found, log signed and off to the next one. TFTC!!!
Clue was somewhat unhelpful, took us awhile as our gps ran out of battery. Nice Cache :~}
Found originally as part of Rebel98 team, now created own account, re-logging as rustynz
First stop of our weekend adventure, a party of 6 making our way to GZ. After a short search the cache was found, and as a bonus we got to meet some other cachers! thanks again for the hide.

Found with UncleSam on a day excursion to Waiheke. #4 Bumped into Rebel98 and family while there. Nice to meet you, even if you are from that 'other side' of Auckland.
Busy cache today, was muggled by two dogs whilst we made our search. Then after signing log and returning cache to its hiding place a mysterious party went past holding a phone with a compass showing! hmm could this be geocachers? Yep! well it looks like the caches on Waiheke are going to get some visitors this weekend. Thanks for hide and bringing us here.
Found the beautiful park, found the bush but couldn't find the cache, even though we searched all the other bushes around... Perhaps it was muggled again? Thanks for the nice walk anyway
This cache has been recently muggled, so I've moved it slightly and updated the hint.
We wandered in through the fields via the Te Toki reserve.. Though I think the wee track would have been a wiser move given my slip sliding around in flip flops. Cool hide.. Nice and easy find! TFTC!
Took my niece and nephew for the first tube and they found the treasure. Very happy! They are 4 and 2
We walked right past it, it is so beatiful here. On our way back we found it. Thank you for taking us here.
Nice walk on a evening stroll. On holiday in Waiheke for the week. Went to the wrong "nest" to begin with. But after some looking around it should have been an easy find.
Staying nearby over Queens birthday weekend, so of course we had to do a few caches! Nice easy find in a reserve I had never been to, TFTC!
