I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.
Looked for absolute ages and couldn't find. So much dead foliage and spider webs and gave up after a while.
In the area to start the new year with the Hobsonville Point Parkrun and after some sustenance decided to head on back along the walkway to collect some caches. Had to look further afield for this as co-ordinates put me in the wrong spot. Find number five today. TFTC
Had to broaden search to find it. Cache was open and spread out has been rehidden where we assume it was supposed to, being loyal to clues! Was muggled by a lovely lady who steered us in the right direction! TFTC
Took a little bit of searching to get the right location and once there, the cache was found lying out in the open uncovered. Everything seemed intact so we signed the log, picked up the TB and rehid with a heap of cover. Hopefully this one lasts the distance, TFTC! 
What a great cache this was to find. All the Whenuapai Cubs went looking in the section of bush and found the container. There were lots of trinkets for swaps so they decided among themselves which to take and we swapped for a Cub badge.
Collecting the last few caches around hobsonville this afternoon.Started off looking in the wrong place for this.Took another approach and spotted what we were after from the path.A good size cache.
Took a bit of time due to coords a bit out, as previously noted. Visiting NZ from Australia to meet up with relations and do a bit of sight seeing and a few geocaches of course. Our base is in Hobsonville. Many thanks to the cache owners for placing and maintaining these geocaches for our and others enjoyment. Took the TB only to find that it want to visit mountains. That is going to be difficult in Australia but we will try our best.

Out for a stroll with the geo-pup, Kirstim and Yorkshirekiwi83 for the coastal walkway followed by lunch and beer. After heading around in circles we finally headed to the throne and had the cache in hand. TFTC
Our first find in NZ. A lovely walk around and then exploring in a small bit of bush.
Out caching in the sunshine looking for caches to complete the Mystery at the Museum Challenge. One more to go today. Had to widen the search quite a bit before finding the cache. Found it thanks to previous logs. Took trackable dropped our path tag. Thanks HobsonvillePoint.
Out clearing the head today and what better way to do sothank you for the cache
Tricky one to get on a Sunday afternoon with all the muggles around. Had to be quick. Picked up a trackable but didn’t have a pen for the logbook.
A lovely sunny saturday morning for a walk around Hobsonville Point. Amazing views from some points back over the very still water. No troubles here, Nice hide. Left our new sig pathtag. SL. TFTC.
I decided to take JrGun9 out for an afternoon walk to give the other children some quiet time and picked the caches around Hobsonville as a nice spot.
This was the first cache today and after a quick search of the wrong spot the correct spot was soon found for a quick find.
Interestingly on the walk out we saw a family with their phones out likely doing the same thing.

Headed out this way with the geo-kids and dog for a wander around. Great weather, kids enjoyed their bike ride. We will be back to complete the rest.
Took a few moments to find the item in the hint in between the muggles but we got there in the end. After signing we saw a bunny rabbit run across the path...how timely for Easter

As others have said, widen the search and the throne will become obvious TFTC
Found it in about 10mins. It is a Sistema container covered in green tape. Lovely walk to find it!
Thanks for the cache.
Was worried that this cache might have been disturbed, as there has been a lot of changes in this area.
It is a lot more open than I think it was before. Was glad to find it was ok.

First cache of the day. Geocaching day in Hobsonville Point. Reading previous logs helps. GZ not bang on but geosense helps too. All good here. TFTC
The geocaching family would not give up the search. Just expanded search by about 10m and was there to be found. SL TNLN TFTC
A difference of 15m between GPS measurements on peoples phones, mine pointed in a different direction to most and I soon had the cache in hand despite being on site for less than half the time. Caching smarts also led me to the likely location. With PhilBirdBoys. Tftc.
After a short search we spotted the container on the ground. We've re-hidden it where we think it was supposed to be based on the hint and made sure it is disguised by natural camo.
Nice spot, TFTC.
Nice spot, TFTC.
My GPSr had me on the road, so I had to go one-by-one until I was sure that the cache was not there. Once I expanded in the right direction, I spotted a place that fit the hint. TFTC.
Our last find today on the circuit of the point where we had a walk with Albert the geohound. Good day for it and the nice weather brought out a few other walkers and dogs. Fortunately we got a break in the muggles here and the cache was not tricky to find so a quick and easy one. No sign of any wasps at all as mentioned in a previous log, with any luck they've been moved on. Thanks for the cache, all good here, note TB is not in cache.
Didn’t find this cache the first time because my sister was stung by four wasps, watch out for the wasp nest by the logs (they should be non-aggressive as long as you don’t step on their nest...). Came back and found it with the help of Jacksonz. Nice hint and cache. Thanks
Very easy find, visible from path so I moved it a little so you can’t see it from the path.
