After a lot of searching we found a barroca lid buried in the play area. Put it in a more obvious spot in case others come looking.
Did spot a berrocca lid on its own. The area has been cleaned up and trimmed with weedeater so that may have got the cache?
A nice quick find for Furbies and I as the cache was lying out in open. Popped it back to where we thought it should have been hidden - and into the car to drive to Wellington CBD for a family lunch. TFTC.
Well no searching was required here, the cache container was sitting out in the open, lucky it was still there. Cache was put back to where we think it should have been. TFTC.
The high muggle factor of this cache should increase the difficulty rating as there is no possibility of searching with anyone present in the playground. We were lucky that the place was empty when we arrived, but while we were signing the log, some children arrived. Bugger. Pretended to drop something and surreptitiously replaced the cache.

#4558. When the muggle kids arrived they jumped on the swings next to GZ (I knew I should have stayed on the nearest one until Troodles had replaced the cache). However, the cache was replaced without too much trouble (though I think the kids were wondering what we were up to). TFTC.
Luckily, I had the place to myself and I was soon able to sort out what was needed to complete this mission.
Quick find all though being from out of town and not knowing the area took a little to find this tucked away place. TFTC

No muggles in the playground today, the rai must have kept them away (it has to be good for something) Spied the possible hiding spot and sure enough there it was. TFTC

Logging a find with the owner's kind offer. 
We did really find it - right place and destroyed container 
, and we probably won't be back in the area. It's a nice little playground - at least the young family members with us enjoyed that. TFTC

TFTCWill check out cache asap however spending a fair amount of time working out of town at the moment so could be a couple of weeks until I can check this out.
Sadly, we think this might have been muggled. We couldn't find the cache where we're fairly sure it should have been, but nearby found a berocca top, and further away a torn container that had been wrapped in camo like another TuisReturn cache we found today!
Find #1333. Found on a cycling trip from Waikanae to Paremata having used the train to get to Waikanae and the strong Nor’west tail wind to get back. The playground was empty. Just as well as this mad person was scrabbling under the bark for something. Eventually located the item and was surprised to see it was just the log book with no bag or box. Still remarkably dry but I wonder how long that will last... SL TFTC
Found with Kiwi Mico. Nice hide in a park I wasn't aware of. No one around on this visit.

Another hidden park that we never knew existed.. Hope this one lasts as was a bit visible.. Hid it a little better. T4TC
A quick find while on a Kapiti Coast excursion today. Nobody about so it was very easy. Signed log, TFTC!
No problems making the find here - area completely empty of muggles at 3-10pm. SL TFTC
#3275. Nice area. Made a stealthy find on a sunny afternoon. Did a walking circuit round the neighbourhood afterwards. TNLNSL. TFTC.
Short detour after work. Managed to have the place to myself and gps was spot on.

SFT and jr taybee find it TFTCI was glad that the rain had kept the muggles away as I didn't have the junior fozzmiesters for cover today. A quick find and then on my way. TFTC
As I checked co-ords here for the owner I will not re-visit this cache and make a find here until at least 3 other finders have logged.
FTF. This Morning About 10am Was Joined By My Caching Partner Gazzali. On This Wet Day It Was A Quick Find. Have Placed Log In A Plastic Filter Bag As I Was Worried It Would Get Wet. TFTC, Yet Another Park I Did Not Know Existed.
