Sorry, the house is for sale, the bush that hid the cache has been moved. We will try to think of a way to re-instate the cache somewhere else.

Straight forward find in the likely spot. TFTC

Pretty straightforward, so even Dad was able to help with this one. It is amazing how many more places you get to see around your town/city if you weren't geocaching. An interesting road we wouldn't have had call to travel down otherwise. TFTC.

After over shooting this one in the car a few times I finally parked up and retrieved cache easily - not sure if I watched - I have grabbed the trackable (my first) and have already logged it as grabbed! Tftc was a great place to shop on the way home from a children's birthday party.

Nice find thanks, and found a nice Trackable inside not yet on the inventory.

Nice spot Smile probably got a weird look from someone haha
 
11-Feb-15
It was decided that three of us would meet up at the start of the gorge walk to tidy up some un-found caches in the area. Since I didn't start work until later I left early to pick up some caches on the way. I had an unsuccessful start to the day with a DNF and two unable-to-be-attempted caches as council workers were in the way.
A quick find once my GPS had sorted out its location. All quiet here today. Not really hidden that well but I suppose it doesn't need to be as no really walks past here.
Thanks for the cache and the smiley.
 
07-Feb-15
Neat little evening run to ground zero, great family geocache especially having the alpacas accross the road Smile tftc

Cool llamas.

Quick Park & Grab. TFTC

Much easier to find this time. Clearly a lot of gardening has happened to the fence line (especially the thorns!).

04-Feb-14
Horrible location for a cache, nothing special about this area (unless of course you own one of these very nice houses).
More importantly though: couldn't find after a good search.
 
07-Dec-13
Quick fund and a lovely BIG cache.
TFTC
 
18-Nov-13
On our drive to Levin after a weekend in Martinborough, we decided to take the scenic route. I had 2 TBs with me that I collected at the NZ Mega in Auckland last month and wanted a big enough container to hide them in. We felt quite awkward searching right in front of someone's house but luckily found the cache quickly with only the alpacas looking on. Left 2 TBs and took one. TFTC.

Always worried when caches are so close to houses - I hope the neighbours know about it!
Alpacas were very cute, but no time to linger as we were heading over the Track to the Wairarapa.
TFTC.
 
23-Mar-13

22-Mar-13
Nice drive by cache - thanks
 
08-Feb-13
A detour to take a gekko at this new lifestyle block area, and because a regular cache deserves to be visited. The alpacas were indeed charming. Left Trackable Bulldog geocoin with a gecko attached.

Another mornings caching in PN - east of the river today. This was the 7th cache of the day and the first that didn't involve a pleasant walk! A quick and easy find. TFTC.
 
04-Jan-13
Visiting friends renting a house down below and this was the nearest cache. So an after dinner walk for a group of us but hard to search carefully with so many and not act suspicously!! Viewed the nice looking Alpacas. TFTC
 
02-Jan-13
Finally found this one while visiting family in the area.

Good to claim a find after two DNFs tonight.
I also host a cache at my front gate; thanks for sharing your home Smile

Took longer to reseal the logbook bag and the container than it did to find the cache.
Looks like others have had issues as well as there was plenty of water in the container Sad

Nice to see a large container for once! was watched by a trio of alpacas

04-Jul-12
Arrived at gz same time as (we presumed) other cachers. Waited a little while and was about to grab cache when they drove off. Quick find. Left Shrek TB. TFTC
 
04-Jul-12
Had to come back for this one as cachers were already at gz and waiting for us to leave probably assuming we were muggles. Second try found right away. Have driven down this road before and thought it was a lovely place to live.

We left a small jewelled decorative thing that you are supposed to attach to the front of a card or such.

TFTC.
 
10-Jun-12
Interesting place to put a cache. Lawn mower lady totally ignored us. TFTC
 
27-May-12
A great looking spot to live. Wasn't quite sure about this one especially with someone out front mowing the lawns but eventually spotted it (well, it was hard to miss ) and signed the log.

Many thanks for the placement.
 
13-Apr-12
TFTC! pretty sure I waved to the cache owner as he was in his front lawn Wink
 
11-Feb-12
Was in Palmerston North with Mrs Yeetrees and we wanted to clean up a few caches around the area while we were here, seeing where the cache was and never being down this road before this was a great opportunity to go and check this area with Mrs Yeetrees and see where this road was going to take us, reading the cache page and realising that the cache was a driveby, we arrrived at GZ and drove right pass the cache and did a U-turn further up the road and turned around and managed to find a car park across the road from the cache. Mrs Yeetrees did the honours and walked across the road to GZ and soon had the cache in her hot little hands, signed and returned and we were soon on our way to the next cache, what an interesting spot for a cache, thanks for pacing it here and for bringing us to this spot, TFTC TNLNSL (4080)

We are not overly fond of these sorts of hides, and hoping the property owners are aware of the large container in their garden! Nice area and a quick find thankfully, TFTC
 
27-Jan-12
Took a little while. Had to trust the GPS on this one. No one spying this avo. Me me grin. TFTC

Liked the alpaca's Smile TFTC Smile
 
24-Dec-11
Tftc, felt very watched on this one
 
24-Dec-11
Lol, it was a large cache. I LOVED the alpacas, there was a really young one there. Couldn't have had nicer weather either, so all in all a great experience. TFTC Smile
 
04-Dec-11
What a huge cache! Yet it still took a while to find. Had to stop and say hi to the alpaccas before I realised where it must be.
 
27-Nov-11
TFTC. Felt very exposed doing this cache. But as said in the description a great one for the kids. Nice big container.
 
19-Nov-11
Found the only good sized cache in the area . Much better than *&^*%$ Micros.
Lamb inside the fence was telling me where to find the cache.

A quick find, with no one around today. Left a pet rock - a turtle. TFTC

Found with W.E.K.A.
Met the owners of the Alpacas.
A nice spot.
Thanks.

To say we found the cache, is not quite correct. Rather, the cache found us! We were looking in the obvious spots, when suddenly a little girl ran out of the house with the cache in hand. It had got damp and was being dried. Prior to this we had talked to the owner of the alpaca farm across the road, and he attempted to bring some alpacas up to the road for our granddaughters to see, but they stubbornly refused to come more than halfway up the paddock. Found with markhnz. TFTC

Quick find on my way north TFTC

Actually not so far away - close enough for a (hilly) jog to it. Good to see such a generous sized container. The neighbouring alpacas add to the attraction. Thanks team for this cache.
 
31-Aug-11
Pleasant spot, not so far away. Left wee torch 'charm'. Certainly kid friendly, and thank you to the kids who made the cache.
 
29-Aug-11
A quick find this morning, watched by a few inquisitive Alpacas and a large family of ducks/ducklings. TFTC Smile
