A House To Rent (Canterbury) Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand
By warbut on 29-Apr-12. Waypoint GC3J6PJ

Sadly the sewerage needs of the greater Halswell have taken precedent and "House to Rent" is no longer. The great yellow machines have completely destroyed the happy home. In fact you could say it is completely "diggered."

Often seen this building that looks like it was designed for giraffes or elephants. Good to find the cache with Arandee today. Thanks for the hide!

Giraffe enclosure maybe. All good. TFTC

Nice greets from Dresden in Germany. Tftc .

I've driven past this one a few times, today I took the time to explore. Came up trumps after a grovel in the wrong place. Thanks to all cache owners for taking the time to place and maintain your caches. BJ25.

We were out here a couple of weeks ago on the hunt for some caches. Didn't know about this walking trail until then. Came back today with the geodog to collect a few more. TFTC

Fun find

Cache back where it should be, and can be quite clearly spotted. No lifting and no groveling needed!!

think this more of a summer home, so will come back then, not sure but I think cache may have moved but we put it back where we found it TFTC and open home,

It's a lovely rental! We played house for a wee bit this lovely warm winter Saturday afternoon!

Quick find on a blustery day. Tftc

Lovely evening for a spot of geocaching

Quick find

Nice!

Got chased by a bid dog before being able to retrieve the cache. But what a nice place...

Biked across the field to find this one. What a perfect spot for a cache! TFTC

In hut

We are out as part of a Ao Tawhiti Discovery geocaching group. There are 12 of us. It was fun but kind of hard.

short search but then.. success

TFTC found while biking

What air conditioning! Only Mother nature can do this so good!! easy find with geo Jessie on a lovely pm after all that rain. TFTC

Nice and easy find with Busy Paws on a lovely afternoon!
TFTC!

Nice little cache signed bb2

Went on my first run in aggggeeesss today so I thought I would make it more fun and find some caches on the way. This cache had fallen out of its hiding spot, I tried to hide it the best I could but may need to be checked its in the correct place, TFTC

[green] A late start today - I had to pick up my car (all four cylinders working now, yay!) and catch up with a fellow cacher at Uni, so my second find was not till about 10:30. Despite that I still met my objective - 40 caches in one day, and all by bike! The highlight was the Back to the Future event and having a go on a hoverboard! (sort of).
Great house! Like the all over, every room air conditioning. Also the awesome picture window

Tftc nice cache

Easy find with given directions. Gale force winds made for a quick visit. All in good order. TFTC.

Took us a while but found it. Bit breezy for my likings!

Tftc often wondered about this cache as we've driven past. Today we found along with kite flying for the kids.

I have driven past this soooooooooooo many times and keep saying to myself - one day N!mrod you are going to break the road code rules and park and grab this one. I never did. However, wanted to get a few other caches in the area and so loaded up geomutt and off I toodle. I made the find harder than it should have been but once I gazed above my navel, there it was! Think the place needs a bit of work doing to it before you can get a rental - mind you, in Auckland, that would probably sell for half a million!

Out on a jaunt to rehunt a previous dnf (success!) And now doing the loop of others. Tftc

I've often wondered about this place then I saw the horses one day and tada, it made sense. Spent a while watching a guy playing with a model helicopter, doing all sorts of loops etc. Cheers

Bit of a doer-upper, I think- but with mountain and hill views it has definite potential.

In Christchurch for work stuff but with spare time today to go and find a few caches. No other humans (or sheep or horses) near GZ today so I was able to search and find the cache in peace. TFTC, Biggles.

Found it on the way to the food show. Thanks.

Found on way out of christchurch, took a while to get to right street as car GPS didn't allow for the motorway but cache was easier to find. Amazing how quiet it was here even with the motorway so close
TFTC

This had us divert from our cycleway cache hunt mission. An interesting spot to be brought to. tftc

Took me a few moments as my height hindered me

After a while we found it! Thanks!

Took a wee while but we found it

I was on my way to do the Motorway series of caches today but ended up finding 36 caches on my 25 km walk. After completing the motorway series on foot in just a little over three hours I stopped for a coffee and a sandwich in a little cafe. Again as with the previous cache I set off on a direct route across the field to find this one. The cache is a micro rather than a small but it's not such a big deal.

Quick an easy, TFTC

Easy find

Thanks for the cache not for shorties.

TFTC a quick find today on this windy day, to cold for me to live in this house.

This one has been on our radar for a while and today it got ticked off. A nice walk on a chilly day.

Had 3 goes at getting this one, first on a bike ended up on the wrong side of the motor way, next in a car and shot past it, third time bugger it flew in by helicopter. Ps you can walk to it

had to run back to this tftc

Pretty easy find

well we had a real good laugh over this one, The things we do for a cache, The access to the GZ was the best part. Many thanks. Cheers Bo

1 of many found today while out with Bo&Bronnie for an afternoon cycle/hunt.

We came from the cycle way, and we didnt cross the motorway, we went UNDER IT! (but we cross the road on the way back)

Cheers

We enjoyed the day caching in this area

Tftfun

So many caches done to remember all, but got a kick out of all that we found (0ver 600 in 8 days)

It took me a little while to spot this one, but I got there in the end. TFTC.

A nice walk out to a deserted GZ, and cache was reasonably quick to find. Thanks for the cache.

Friendly neighbours, easy access to motorway, a little tlc required!!
Found it.TFTC.

A great wee house on a warm spring day, and an easy find of the cache..TFTC

Far too windy. I'd never get to sleep. Tftc though.

Nah not nice enough for me.

Can I rent this its just what I've been looking for

d deg gmcgb

Fun cache bit hard to find but lots of fun!

hard to get to because you have to climb up to it.

orsem that's awesome

It was my second geocach. Found it with my school

Good beginner cache, the general area is easy to find, but once you are there it might take five minutes to find the cache itself.

Otis says "The cache is very hard to find."

Often wondered what this little shed was, now I am enlightened. TFTC.

Found while out walking cross country course that Miss Chchcochrane is competing in tomorrow. She will jump through this structure that houses the geo!!! Thanks

At least this cache was dry (ish), with the free indoor-outdoor flow the water already disappeared and the next tenant can move in... TFTC

Cache size had us checking spots that didn't really fit. House a bit noisy and breezy. Thanks warbut for placing this cache.

Found on an extended Queens Birthday road trip with the infamous Kiwi_Explorer. Thank you for this cache and your contribution to Geocaching in general.

This cache concluded the start of an awesome bike ride It started to rain but the caching went on
I could live in there... TFTC

Quick n easy find.

I'd heard that there was a house to rent, so went to investigate - should have known that it wouldn't be suitable in Christchurch's current rental market. I would be really bad to heat with those high ceilings, I could feel drafts everywhere, it was looking rather run down, the previous tenants hadn't cleaned it at all, it was right beside a motorway... the only saving grace for it was a fantastic rural outlook and a cache!

Very windy today

Easy to find TFTC

Interesting structure, really in the middle of nowhere. Wonder how long till it is moved? Quick spotting by Chelzea and cache was in hand for a quick find. TFTC

Easy find, even in the dark. Tftc

maybe not the ideal house to rent but it was nice find

TFTC!

TFTC!

Quick find.
TFTC.

I sometimes make the easy ones so hard to find!! This should have been simple, but no, I must enjoy looking through all the sheep droppings. Great spot though!

Nice quick find on the way back to the car.
Cheers Gav

A quick find. TFTC

Handymans dream home? TFTC

Thanks, warbut - indeed an interesting house - needed the "air con" in the heat today. I explored inside and out, read previous logs, found and signed.
TFTC.

With a little help from the cache owner (Many thanks) found by Richbritty, Ben and Graemey from the UK.First cache of 24 this evening.TFTC.Nice Hide.

First of many finds this arvo with my son and Graemey from UK. Easy find when you look in the right place and don't read the clue incorrectly. TFTC

found an exit point from the motorway, then a little jaunt followed by a leap over the fence....that was where it all ended as a DNF followed. Although I blame Graemey for saying "the hint says it is by the pedestrian gate/style" Only gave a token look in the right place but got deterred by the large dog poo stuck to the bottom of my sandal!!!! I will be back and this time will look in the right place.

Searched for a while for this one with Richbritty but were not able to find it!!!

Quick find on cold windy day. Thanks warbut

Very draughty in the house today.

Quick easy find on a lovely day for a walk. Might have to rent this one when or if our house gets worked on. Thanks for the hide.
