Logs
As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 14 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Found this one a while back but it is definitely gone. Hopefully it can be replaced.
No luck today. Found where we though the cache should be and a feature that could have held a cache. Watched a kite-surfer for a while before heading for lunch. Maybe next year.
No luck for us on the way home - after speaking with a previous finder we believe it's gone. But if the hide has changed then I can't be sure. Either way - a DNF for me.

Found quickly using the clue as the GPS continues to show GZ about 5 metres away since arriving in NZ Tftc Greetings from Australia
Quick find thanks to the hint, log full so left a new one. A clever hide, unfortunately the thread on the container is getting worn.
Good day to me, this is the second cache found within 30minutes. Brilliant cache. Tftc.
Omg. Smallest logbook I ever seen lol. Loved it. Gorgeous view thx!! The Ducks were following me everywhere. Next time I'll bring bread 
A cache container and location with a point of difference. Nice to have some variety. Thanks
Rain stopped long enough to grab this one. Found we were parked 60m away so absolutely no excuse. Clever. Satisfying find. Did some house keeping and remover lolly paper logs. Some space still on current log strip but will need a new one soon.
Last time we were here over 12 months ago the cache had been muggled but we did spend a lot of time exploring & thought we knew what we were up for this time round which proved correct as we found it quickly.Thanks TGC4,only a heap of muggle sea gulls.
Very clever cache. But have a major feeling I am being watched. Am being very subtle sitting under the tree
A lovely walk around the lake front before hopping back in the car. A very good camo! TFTC!
Loved this cache. Well disguised as I saw it on first sight but I thought it was real
My great holiday at lovely NZ sadly came nearly to its end, but this morning a had time for a little stroll along the beautyfull lakeside. I really fell in love with this area and the town and I hope su much that I could come back one day.
Thanks a lot for the cache and greetings from Germany.

This was a great hide. After a quick look we saw a little difference and bam! Cache in hand! TFTC
Took a while before it clicked. Nice hide! And was being watched by a lot of seagulls. 
Thank you for the cache!

Greetings from UK. After our sailing on the lake we drove here for a quick park and grab. We spotted the hint item and then the cleverly hidden container. The muggle BBQ folk were oblivious to our activities. TFTC.
Geocaching was one of the minor parts in our wonderful and way too short trip to NZ.
We had a brilliant trip through this awesome contry. We were highly impressed by these quick changes in landscape. Thanks a lot to NZs openminded and lovely people, we always had the impression to be welcome.
We hope to be able to come back one day and visit some of the numerous things we couldn't take a look at.
Cheers from Germany guys and thank you soo much

Found on a road trip north. The lake looks stunning today. Log scroll completely full so added a new piece of paper. Tftc.
Today we chose to cycle the Great Lake Walkway to Five Mile Bay, so this was the first cache of the day for us. Nice easy find - great camo though! We've seen ones like that back home.
Greetings from the UK!

We are staying close to this one on our lovely tour of New Zealand and walked along the lakeside to find this one as the sun was setting-great view indeed. Thanks.
I've just realised that this was my 500th cache!!! Great spot to get it - very memorable. Thank you.
I had an hour to kill before catching up with a friend so grabbed a couple of caches...spotted it straight away nice camo. Tftc

. As located on nice place to take photos, retrieve and return was fine with a camera in hands .
Thanks for the cache, greetings from the Czech Republic!
