Unfortunately a team of four of us couldn't locate it
Think it may have gone for a swim in Flushed Away fashion...

Found with Piwaka54. What an awesome time of year to come and see the rhododendrons. Thanks for replacing the cache! TFTC Yeetrees
Found with Nutty Nora. It’s not actually a one liter container - quite a bit smaller. Beautiful garden!

Had a good scour around here. The gps was bouncing a little but the search area was obvious. Moved a bunch of leaf matter searching under all obvious objects and following reading log info. Have found a number of yeetrees caches so either we have overlooked something or this is MIA, and judging by the history this is possible. It looks like a good sized cache to miss in such a spot.
No joy for me today. Looked at previous logs/photos and hints and rang a fellow cacher who had found it previously and from all the info still came up empty. Felt like a blackbird sifting up all the leaf litter! I'll keep an eye on the logs and hope to return in future. What a lovely place I'd never have been to tho, thanks for the visit!
Not sure if it’s been moved or not but it wasn’t really under anything it was just sitting in the garden
Had a good look around including the hint from graceisawesome but no find for us today. Nice spot!
Hi cache owner, I came and had a look for this one having found it before (I had a trackable to place) and it wasn't there. If you can have a look and check if it's still there that would be appreciated.
Kind Regards,

Me and some of my scout friends might go and find before or after scouts one night!
we had found this years ago, today we had a walk with our granchildren and they took it out. thanks for your care.
What a lovely place!! Decided to do some caching here in Wellington on my Sunday afternoon drive. Hard to believe the motorway is less than 3 meters behind me from where I took the photo. Thanks for the cache and the information about this beautiful sanctuary!
Accidentally overshot the Avalon turn off and figured I'd check out the gardens and came across this cache. TFTC!
Found while visiting the nearby scout hall for JOTI/JOTA. Cache was in excellent condition, though the rhodos were all suffering from bad infestations of thrips. TFTC.
Nice new log, nice find, didn’t know that this place was hidden alongside the highway
DNF we thought we knew pretty much exactly where it was - might have been taken! We will try again another day
Last time searching for this was a disaster as the phone GPS too us to the edge of the motorway but today with the Garmin GPS it was a quick find.
Container was 95% full of water so the log was a sodden pulp which we replaced. Dried everything out with a towel we had with us but it looks like the container may need to be replaced as only a couple of months ago another finder mentioned it being waterlogged.

Just had to wait while the instrument settled and there it was Thanks Yeetrees You get around!
Our first visit to this very pleasant area. A large picnic was in progress a short distance away, but not in view of where we were looking fortunately. The cache was a quick find. Thanks for placing a cache here.
A nice quick find in a lovely spot, didn't know this existed so thank you for bringing us here! We will make sure we come down for a BBQ one day, perhaps in Spring when we might see a bit more bloom 
A nice quick find in a lovely little park. No blooms today, but imagine it looks amazing here in spring.

Easy enough find in a truly beautiful spot. Sun was shining, great day. GPS pointed right to it.
This took me a lot longer than I expected as I am still new to geocaching and tried to go off the clues alone forgetting that I could have used GPS to get me to the precise location once I got to the garden. Once I had used GPS to get me closer to the location, it was a much quicker find. I have been to this park for BBQs many times so yet again was laughing to myself at how oblivious I was to this pre-geocaching.
Amazing winter day today and this cache brought me to a park I hadn't been to before - even though SH2 is mere metres away. No flowers in mid winter of course but nice place regardless. Didn't take too long to find the cache which was hidden pretty well.
A cold drizzly windy day for a MTB ride around the Hutt River Trail to pick up some new caches and some previous DNFs.
Only DNF of the day for us - surprised we couldn't find the largest container of the day but hands were starting to ache from the cold so will return another day to try again when the weather is better.

Never knew this garden was here. Thanks for putting the cache here. All in good order. Swapped TBs.
Thanks for the cache. we had a nice walk along the river trail and picked up a few caches on the way .
A lovely pretty place to visit. Would love to come back when the flowers are in bloom! This was a simple find and Mr Jamogen sent me in to get it! We got it on our way to find Kevin Anderson's geocache in New Zealand. Thanks for hiding!
Out grabbing a few caches after painting all morning. Followed GPSr to GZ where after a bit of a look around the cache was spotted - TNLNSL. Log is a little damp but can still be written on. Thanks for the placement of this cache in a great little park that we did not know existed - great BBQs too.
Quick fimd, no blooms here today but I did find a nice cache!!

288 25 March 2016Super quick find and a lovely spot that we have never explored before despite riding our bikes through the area many times. TFTF
Nice quick find as long as I stayed out in the open till I was very close. Thanks for my dot day cache.
