It was still there, just as detailed in the hint, but had got itself a bit buried. Now the surroundings have changed so much it's time to archive.

Walkway open. Easy find but rather yukky. TFTC
 
06-Aug-13
JH is closed for the winter but we were driving past so seized the opportunity to jump out and find the cache .. Lots of pruning going on at GZ but a good dig in the sawdust proved fruitful Smile

TFTC!
 
06-Aug-13
This was not meant to be in the sawdust. Will check it out real soon.

04-Apr-13
Little bush walk
 
02-Apr-13
Out and about in the area on a great autumn day and grabbing a few caches as well. I never realised this small track was here, always being more focused on heading across the bridge to the other side I guess. They were open today but not overly busy so no problem with muggles. TFTC.
 
02-Apr-13
We took advantage of the beautiful autumn weather with a few caches listed to find. The path toward GZ was unexpected and the signage for the specimen plants a great surprise. TFTC
 
31-Mar-13
Quick find for us but a shame the cafe is closed today! TFTC
 
29-Mar-13
Easter weekend and what better than to go cache hunting with my favourite Easter Bunny. Worked out a circuit and off we went. Jester was closed for Good Friday, such a pity as they do great coffeeSmile and food. Enjoyed the little bush walk and made the find. TFTC
 
28-Mar-13
Yeah the blackberry got me!! and I wasn't the one that ended up with the cache!!
TFTC.
 
03-Mar-13
I am sure the cafe was very busy today but we discovered that the hide location makes this irrelevant, it was a quick find for us. Managed to maintain momentum despite the delights on offer which is sure to be good for my waist and wallet. Tftc
 
21-Jan-13
Struggle to find a park the cafe was so busy! No surprise though such a cool place. TFTC
 
11-Jan-13
The scones at the Jester house are the best. No joking!
 
29-Dec-12
Every time we went past this place it was busy busy busy (a problem with only coming to Nelson on holiday times!) however no one about at 7pm so a nice quick find with easy parking! Cheers
 
27-Dec-12
Busyish place today. Fortunately no muggles at relevant place. Tftc

This cache was found as part of my epic as move down south to Christchurch from Auckland - A drive that involved around 3,000km, 350 caches, 14 days, and a bit of a detour through East Cape, Gisbourne, Napier/Hastings, some back roads in the Wairarapa, Cape Pallisier and Nelson/Tasman as well as every CANZ cache along the way that I was still missing. (Hence my excuse for the not as interesting log as I usually try to make mine.) But thanks to every awesome amazing as cacher that placed caches along these roads, you made my trip awesome, and very cache happy! SmileSmileSmile

Boxing Day, place was closed, and then easy find once I realised which side of the fence it was on.

TFTC!! Smile

Meant to get this after the Over The Rainbow event at the cafe but took off with Mrs Belt to get a puzzle cache I'd never have solved on my own I forgot all about it. On my way to Mot, doing some caching on the way, decided it was a must get. Found quickly
 
16-Dec-12
busy place today.
 
02-Dec-12

02-Dec-12
When I was trying to find this cache I couldn't spot it so I went back and asked my dad (biggles) if he could help me find it and he did. When we came back Hagar Macduff couldn't find it and I didn't mind going back so we went and I helped him find the cache.

Another place that I must return to..... for lunch, that is. Had already eaten, and this place was overflowing, so it was just a park and grab today.

There was a lot of joking going on whilst we retrieved this cache, the cafe seems to be a popular spot with the locals and holidayers alike. Miss Geckoh convinced us that we need to stop shortly to get a real friut ice cream and Mr Geckoh was very excited by the prospect. Thanks for another placement and another smilie! TFTC

In a far far away time, long before earthquakes (well, about ten days before, actually), Annie & PB went geocaching in Nelson for Annie’s birthday. Some of the caches never got logged, and this was one of them. So we’re logging it now – with a, hopefully, never-to-be-repeated, repetitive log.
So, thanks for your cache, and I’m pretty sure we signed the log. We maybe even took a coin or TB on further travels, or possibly dropped one off. SmileWink

On my trip around the world I first visited the States, travelled from there to Australia and continued my trip in New Zealand.
Terra Fox joined me and we made a four-week-tour in NZ driving from north to the south and back again.
Geocaching can take you to spots you would never visit and so I used my trip to find some caches in every state and country.
Thank you for this cache and greetings from Germany

A fun find for three muggles and a long time geocacher. Fun
 
20-Nov-10
Found this cache while on our way back to Nelson, we decided that we would take the old route instead of the bypass. Was wondering why the cache was named as it was, now I know, found the cache in the first spot that I looked, no issues here BUT had to watch out for the gorse. Found during the break in showers and managed to sign without getting the logbook wet, thanks for bringing us to this nice walkway. TFTC TNLNSL (2477)

We were also amazed at how empty the road was. We finally had a chance to drive the new bypass and then came back the old fashioned way. TNLN TFTC

Found on 22/10/10.
Found by accident - we were on the wrong road when this one appeared on the nuvi so we stopped anyway (of course). The cache was found quickly leaving us a little extra time to look at the eels. SL. Thanks to Sidewaze for the cache.
