Three of us had a really good look and couldn't find anything. If it's there it's definitely not an easy find.
I reckon it's gone, I have gone three times but have never found it. Either that or its an amazing hiding spot 
Had a wee look on Sunday 11th December. No luck but also lots of muggles around...
Let Miss 4 search for this one, she couldn't find it and neither could we. I'm sure we'll be back over summer for attempt #2.
Awesome location even on a rainy day. Our first find was nice and easy which was great for a four year old!
Exciting! Our first ever find! New to this and already so addicted! On to the next one
Spent a little while looking for this, but soon lost interest when it started raining on us.
TFTC on this beautiful day! Took alittle while, photo of size of it helped.
Thanks for our 100th cache! Beautiful spot, great cache and an awesome day for caching!
Found as part of team Stik-a-crane now logging under my own name. I was there to make the find but want to create a map and history of my own unique kind.
Gave this one a go without GPS just using clues and hints - quick find - another great place for a hide.

What a beautiful coastline!
TFTC, log signed & cache returned safely from whence it was found.
Greetings from the UK
Edited as I forgot to dip our satellite trackable - sorry

Lots of builders out today working on several houses in the neighborhood. Made the find quickly and took off in search for more. TFTC
Brought my mum to show her what we do and she found it! GPS had me searching under a different tree.
I love this area of East Auckland!!! today was a lovely sunny spring day and to find a nice easy cache made it perfect. TFTC
Found with Geco72 during a Saturday caching expedition to the eastern extremities of Auckland. After a lovely dinner at Maraetai, we grabbed a final few caches in the dark before heading home. A successful day. TFTC.
After a lovely tea close by these last few caches on our visit were found in the dark. Quick find. TFTC
Found it with wendythebean.. pretty tricky to hide it.. first time I can say its harder to hide than it was to find... TFTC
Found it, nice easy find.

Decided to go for a morning bike ride on this beautiful sunny autumns day and get a couple of geocaches along the way. Beautiful location thanks for making me stop
Lovely day to be at the beach....not many others around. Good to find easy access to the beach from that end. When replaced the cache tried to cover it a bit better...was a bit exposed. TFTC
Beautiful view here, GPS took us to a couple of other trees first, but soon had the cache in hand, TFTC
Lovely beach and good time for a stop and paddle before going back along the path back to Maraetai.
Sighted from track. Had hyper active 1 year old grandson on my hip so didn't bother with signing log.
In the area for Maraetai triathlon tomorrow, staying not too far from this spot. Came out for an evening walk to find a few caches. GPS batteries were getting a bit low, but fortunately I'd remembered enough of the description and hint to be able to find this one without it. In fact we could see the cache without leaving the path, so after replacing it, we tried to cover it a little better.

Would never have known this beach was here if not for the cache, nice hiding spot
First time finder-just across from where I live-even at middle age I found it fun to find something! We will keep on treasure hunting, this is something extra we can do on our walks
another quick find. rehid it with more camoflage as it was pretty much out in the open when i found it.
The guy before us clearly hid it too well! We looked all along the road side near the Co ordinates but we couldn't find it, we also tried the beach. Another time perhaps.
A quick find on a warm, sunny and superb geoday.
Thank you for placing this cache.

We completely missed GZ on our walk out from Maraetai but we returned along the beach and spotted it easily from there. I made the find whilst Mr ClanMcPherson decided to try and get our pram to GZ!! Lovely spot though. TFTC.
Not too many people out walking today and had a lovely wander along the beach. Co-ords out for us but logic prevailed and cache was soon in hand. TFTC
Enjoyed a lovely walk along the track. Seems that the Beagle Dog club where having a day out, so lots of cute dogs to say hello to. Lovely spot. TFTC
Found it 
picked up the Jeep to move on today. Lovely day around and about the beach, have visited lots of little walking tracks I never knew were there

Good little hide found by Mrs s without any problems. Had a lovely walk along the beach on a beautiful windless morning. Picked up TB. TFTC
so easy - once you know where it is - boy, I felt dumb for a couple of minutes.
Nice and quiet little area today, totally devoid of muggles, just the way cachers like it. Soon had it in hand, TFTC, nice spot
