Unfortunately this cache which was put together especially for children to enjoy has disappeared.
Sorry to hear two Geocachers cannot find this cache.
The reserve had a clean-up recently so I'm wondering
if it was removed by mistake?
I will check it out as soon as possible.

Out on a caching day with frewilys. We stopped here for lunch then went to find the cache thanks

Another one of the beautiful little reserves/parks in this area. Tidying up Omokoroa Peninsula caches. TFTC
#463 - Took the Geo Toddler out for trip to Omokoroa to see if we could find all of the caches out here, he thoroughly enjoyed looking for treasure. Another cool spot here, cache was awesome such a cool one for the little guy, a good lesson in just taking 1 toy & leaving 1 toy for others. TFTC also dropped TB off.
Found. Clue a little misleading as it's a bush not a tree. Once found kids were happy.
Great for kids. Just had call to say grandchild arriving in 3 hours. Shame he couldn't be here for this one.
Nice quick find ...wow great for children it's great to have this type of cache thanks
Finally got back to this one after a DNF in 2013!! A quick find today in a lovely peaceful area with no-one around. It pays to follow the hint not the co-ords, as they were 10-12m out for us. A well-stocked cache, but no kids with us today, so just signed the log. TFTC!
Final cache for the day to keep the kids sweet. Had trouble at the start but the hint led us to the right spot. TFTC
After staying a night at the nearby campsite with thermal hot pools we walked here to get an impression of this area and take find home as a souvenir. Nicely stuffed box for children!

Junior wanted to keep playing on the mountain of mulch so I decided to get this myself. However, I read the title so thought junior better be involved and convinced him to help hunt after all.
The name makes sense. Will award a favourite point on behalf of my son (4). Thanks!

I was also being pointed 10m away but there are only so many flax bushes and soon got to the correct one. Cache is in unbelievably good condition. I put a few swap items in for the kids and went for a walk down the path after.

True to the name the kids found this one. GPS had us approx 9m from the cache. Fortunately widened the search.
A good sized and well stocked cache in a nice area I haven't been to before. That's what is all about. Thanks for bringing me here.
Awesome idea and baby kiwi enjoyed picking a toy. Also left a TB good bye and enjoy the rest of your journey
This has to be the best cache that we have found in a long time as far as the quality and condition of the treasure. Definitely one to bring kids to!
Had to laugh as this had a cool stash for kids and miss five picks the smallest bead in the box to swap. But still fun to find while out walkingthe dDag's. TFTC.
A nice quick stroll to GZ, after spending the afternoon at Omokoroa Beach. It didn't take long to locate the cache because of it's camo. A very suitable name for this cache... packed full of trades.
SLTFTC Great cache !!

Decided we'd head to Omokoroa today for a few caches and some lunch. This was our second stop and we quickly found the cache. A very well stocked cache full of all sorts of goodies. No swaps for us so we just signed the log and rehid the cache, thanks!
Found quickly and in good condition. Good to clear some more toys out of the cache bag as well. Replaced as found, TN and left heaps! TFTC
Nice reward for the kids after the great bike ride along the track from the wharf/ferry area. #291
This one was the closest to where we were staying so a friend and I decided to go and find this one. We made our way to GZ and once there, a quick find was made. Log signed and cache replaced. TFTC nzkiwigirl!
Found with alpenmilch80 while killing some time for it to get dark to find a night puzzle cache further towards Tauranga.
Once we spotted the hinted location the cache was quickly found.
Thanks!

After returning from a overnight stay at the Te Rereatukahia Hut slieschke and I decided to move on collecting some more geocaches in the area. TFTC
Hope you don't mind a visit by a big kid. Appreciate the container. Enjoyed looking for this, thanks.
What a great treasure chest . GPS was quite far off but we found it from clue. Thanks for hide
Found ourselves in Omokoroa with some time to kill this evening, so parked here for a feed of fish and chips then quickly snaffled the cache. Found it lying on the ground, left it better placed. TFTC
GPS pointed somewhere else, but found it quickly anyway. Great box of treasures! Thanks!
Have been planning this trip for a while but needed the stars in alignment, the tides just right (for later in the day) and Mrs Dragon willing.
A quick find before heading down to the ferry to Matakana for a couple of "overseas" caches (wonder if that counts for "Zorgon's 2 countries in one day challenge???
Cache all good and a nice muggle free zone

It was a day to got sightseeing over the Bay way today and pick up the odd cache on the way. Seeing that I'm from the land of harakeke hides I just had to find this one.
Cheers for the cache.
Cheers for the cache.
2nd time looking for this cache, brought the GPS this time & the coordnates took us straight to it...... I'm thinking maybe the cache wasn't where it should have been the last time we looked!!!! Was staring us right in the face this time.....
The bags are a bit wet but the container is only damp, maybe could do with a dry out and 1 bag is suspect for watertightness.
Thanks for the cache!
Thanks for the cache!
Nice quick find after the kids finished training at te puna the kids loved exploring the different treasures. TFTC
gps and phone were sending us round in circles, got to the right side and found it sitting out in plain view, signed log and returned it to the likely hiding place, tftc
All quiet here today --- and quick find of the cache. Outside bags very wet and a wasp trapped in one of them, so he got the heave-ho; inside container all dry
Excellent treasure trove for kids --- our Dominic-Aidan would love it!

This was so out in the open I almost dismissed it as not being the cache. I tucked it away a bit better but not sure if the right spot.
