The beach area looks to have changed somewhat, and the apparent hint is no longer visible. The CO has not been active for months and we think this one should be archived to prevent people from claiming it as found.
Nothing here and no owner action despite multiple DNFs. Needs replacing or archiving
Did not update information, so came to GZ not realising the history already of DNF. Searched and poked spaces trying to find the elusive cache, but it wanted to remain hidden. Looks like its gone on its own adventure. For me it time to move onto the next 
We had a good look around with no results, noticed a few DNF's of late and presumed the same

Ich konnte diesen Geocache nicht finden, möglicherweise habe ich nächstes mal mehr Glück!
Let the kids search for a while before we told them no one had found it for ages, they couldn't find it either
Thought we may have struck it lucky but the big stone jammed in the log didn't reveal a cache so I guess th other logs are true,, it's gone.
I think this one might have been taken :-/ we have found it before with friends and it is defiantly not in the same place anymore
Another nice day in NZ - we saw a lot of nice places and of course we found this cache here.

We stayed few days in Whitianga and found some caches too. Greetings from Finland
It was our final night of our holiday staying in Whitianga so we thought we'd finish off our awesome new years gettaway with fish and chips at the beach and a bit of a stroll along the beach (and of course some caches along the way!). Thanks for the cool little hide, a great spot for a cache.
My first ever! Well done to everyone for such a great concept.

Clever hide but retrieved and hid again successfully on this lovely beach.
Thanks very much to the locals and others for showing us around on our first visit to this lovely area. We are celebrating our 42nd wedding anniversary holidaying and having fun geocaching together.

Second (and last) cache in Whitianga. Found with my geofriend and "NZ brother" before having dinner with other friends. TFTC!
TFTCNew Zealand 2103 trip for the Auckland Mega at Albany. Day 5, Miranda to Whitianga. It was only a short clamber out to this but it is nice to get close to the sea. Too cold to get wet though. Thanks.

There were some muggles under the tree next to GZ but there were enough of us to distract them. Eldest of our troop did the finding, pretty good for the old fulla without his glasses!!

Easy to get to cache and a very good view. Stealth is required.
Found with Ngati Tomb Raiders.

Arrived at GZ to find a muggle sunbathing next to the log. Sat on the nearby seat and waited till he moved.
Got to GZ and had a good look around and thinking id found it when i actually hadn't
Finally found it right where the hint stated it should be! TFTC!

TFTC from ... guess what ... Germany! Everywhere I go, already a bunch of Germans there! Don't you have to work?! Well, I'm here as well so I guess that's OK
George found a nice log to sit on while filling in the log book. Meanwhile Mrs George went for a paddle in the warm-ish sea. TFTC.
There were so many people enjoying the great weather yesterday we left some for today - much quieter. TFTC
Over visiting from Scotland. Having a nice tour around with a few caches thrown in now and then. Was in the area so quickly bagged this one for an easy find. TFTC
Spent the weekend in Whitianga and as it was too windy on Sunday to just sit on the beach, we decided to go for a little drive and find some geocaches. Oh, there it is! Mega-fast find! Or was it!?! Doh! Keep trying... ... and there it is!! TFTC!
... and there it is!! TFTC!
