Dunedin Airport TB Hotel Momona, South Island, New Zealand
By debsnz on 12-Nov-14. Waypoint GC5GGQZ

Found this one with TTO1 and TTO2 today. TTO1 and I are touring New Zealand with TTO2 for a couple of weeks and our travels brought us by this cache. So, we just had to stop and find it. Were really enjoying our visit and have been exploring lots of cool spots. Im sure that we will still have a lot that we didnt get to see on this trip, so I look forward to coming back again some time to see some more of this beautiful country. It was great meeting the CO at the event yesterday! Dropped some TBs so that they can continue their journey. Safe travels my friends. Thanks for the fun!

I didn't realize how far from the airport this one was and I wasn't sure if I would have enough time before my flight. But a quick walk/jog got me there and back in time. I should have just followed the GPS rather than trying to follow the hint. Got there in the end and this cache fills a regular dot day for me. tftc

Having had a busy geocaching weekend in Dunedin, at the MEGA, matagouri and I are now continuing on with our holiday 'road trip'.After chipping away at a few more of the 'aeroplane' series, and completing the ad lab series at the airport, we stopped for this one.Parking was very tight for a campervan, but we squeezed in.Thanks for putting this here

Rattll and I are continuing our holiday in the South Island after the completion of GeoToroa in Dunedin. Today, we're heading from Brighton Beach to Middlemarch, aiming to pick up as many solved mysteries as possible, and to visit the Sutton Salt Lake.While rattll was lining up the airplane series, we stopped off here to make the find. All well in the container, and picked up a TB. Signed, and returned as found. Tftc!

Day 5 of my 6 day trip to Dunedin to attend the Mega and clean up all the puzzle caches solved over the last few years.Todays journey took me around Dunedin a bit and then hit the airport area cleaning up the puzzle caches here before heading back to Dunedin.Thanks for all the puzzles, caches, find, frustration and enjoyment.Spent most of the day with buttels. Logged as combinations of B&C.Took a while to find it. Wasn't quite where the GPS pointed to and lots of tree felling nearby.

Traveling around South Island NZ over the next 2 weeks. Arrived at GZ. Found cache and signed log. TFTC

Found but started looking around the fallled logs before a fellow cachet pointed th GZ out to me. The phone was very appropriate here. TFTC

Dunedin MegaOut caching with barb2e, Smittengranny, binliner and Joolay. Signed as Canberra Cachers Dunedin (;CCD). GrimRaider, Joolay and I are in NZ for the Dunedin mega event. It is great to be back to see more of this beautiful country. Thanks for hiding this cache debsnz

Found more later

We found this cache as we were working our way through finding the airplane series. TFTC.

What an incredible day it was. This morning Kittykatch, Joolay, barb2e and I cached our way to the airport. Here we met up with Binliner to attack the Plane/Jet series as well as quite a few along the way. We found every cache that we tried for, and this was one. The logs were all signed CCD (Canberra Cachers Dunedin). Unfortunately a couple of us forgot what day it was and used the incorrect date for a while, but once we woke up (literally) that error was corrected. A huge thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining these caches. You add so much to our game. ??

Day dawned fine and dry after some rain through the night so was looking good for our plans for the day. A great morning spent collecting all our solved puzzles for the plane. Started at the airport with Smittengranny after meeting Binliner off his flight and then we teamed up with Joolay and Kittykatch. Had no problems with most of the finds and certainly enjoyed a few stops at the Outram cafe. Caches signed as CCD for Canberra Cachers Dunedin. Thanks for all the caches in this Geoart and the extras we collected while on the roads.

Dropped TBEarly start to grab the aeroplane we solved before coming over and others on the way.Day 4 and meeting up with Binliner, smittengranny and barb2e. Signing as CCD for Canberra Cachers Dunedin.Finally back in NZ and this time for a Mega. Starting in Christchurch before heading south. Lots to see and do with Kittykatch and Grimraider. Will be joining with others as the days go on.Thanks for getting me out and about debsnz

Out and about caching with Marchwood and Agazo today. Swapped some TB's, and discovered a couple of others, TFTC

After arriving on an early flight, teamed up with smittengranny, barb2e, Joolay and Kittykatch for an enjoyable mornings caching session around the airport region. Signed as CCD (Canberra cachers Dunedin)Exchanged anecdotes with some local farmers who kept us entertained and were generally supportive of our mission. Thanks for placing these caches for our enjoyment and welcoming us to Dunedin.

Attending the Dunedin Mega this weekend. Out caching today with Agazo and AlunB. Signed logs as AMA.Our plan was to complete the aeroplane artwork and any other caches that we stumbled upon enroute.Dropped off a TBTFTC

TB Swap

We are in Dunedin this weekend for the Mega with Stik-a-Crane, UncleSam, KeyLev, and NZTravellers. We have signed all logs as team SEAC to save space, especially as we know this weekend will be busy for all caches. We have landed, picked up the cars and the plane geoart and any other trads, multis, or puzzles we have solved are the targets for the day. We have had an amazing time and had very few DNF's for a very successful day with lots of laughs and memories made.

TB drop

Elephant track in the shelter belt across the road led me astray, as the shelter belt on this side is more like a fence...all the trees chopped down. TFTC debsnz # 4182.... UPDATE: Lost "MacPacMum" date stamp. If anyone finds it, please message me.

M26 ran over to this cache, good size cache in a nice surrounding, decided not to take a trackable. Maybe next time. Log all good and signed here. TFTC.

?????? Down in Dunedin for the Mega event. Travelling with Davidsonclan and McJandals. Really fun to be out and about with the team and catching up with other cachers friends m everywhere. Thanks to all the organisers and all the COs for some great caches. It is certainly a lovely area of New Zealand ??????TFTC ??????

Down here for the Dunedin Geo Toroa Event from the sunny Bay of Plenty,Tauranga and are with some of Team BoP. Great to get together with our fellow cachers. I am logging using the Cachly App and using their template option which helps with my memory for logging. I genuinely thank every CO for their time and effort put into these caches. Much appreciated. ??????

Down in Dunedin for the Mega this weekend with McJandals and NZFLOSSY. Signed the log sheet MDF Thanks for the cache.

Back home in Taranaki after a massive 5 days at the Dunedin Mega with MrMuggleNZ and its time to start logging my findsall 226 of themso wish me luck. Only 2 DNFs the whole time we were here so thats a testament to the dedication of the local cache owners and their maintenance prior to this event. Found after a few checks of different trees. Wasnt where I first thought it would be. Was good to see a TB in there so swapped it out. (That was the only TB we saw in a cache for the rest of our visit) TFTC

Quick find here today, nothing left nothing thanks for the placement and the smiley.

With Gap (of Fap and Gap) Were here for Geo Toroa (Dunedin Mega). Between flight cancellations and re-routing, things could only get better, right? But wait, theres more! Somewhere on our caching escapades, I dropped my wallet Its still at large, so if anyone finds itWe still have that FOB (Fresh off the Boat) newness to shake off. One of us is driving, the other is caching. Weve either logged caches with our separate handles, or weve used FANGS to sign the logbook. Using the latter handle is more for mental health and well being. Its tiring having to write 15 characters, plus on each logbookWe wandered around in circles at first, and then the iPhone gps settled down. We were side tracked by the tree clearing nearby, but this didnt end up being an issue. A good sized hide - for all of those TBs visiting Mega Thanks debsnz. TFTC.

TFTC. 2nd one Ive found here. Trackable drop.

Thanks for my first find!

TFTC found as described by Kations.

Airport shuttle dropped me off only 30min before boarding bit then a delay in the flight was announced, so I had time to walk over. It was raining a bit but not too much, at GZ I noticed the big trees had been cut off. But the container was nicely tucked under a bush near a small tree.No TB though.Thanks for a nice sized container

Got it

Thank you, easy to find. Needs a pen or pencil sharpener

Cold morning trip to the airport, easy find TFTC

Thank you. First one for us.

Thanks

# #7,090 #----------On my way to Dunedin Airport to drop off my rental car and say farewell to the South Island. But first, I just had to stop and get this one before leaving. Would have been rude not to of course! All good here, a nice size container. TFTC!!! ----------> All geocaches are signed as mmmPIZZA or mPZ

Cute spot. Have taken three of the trackables and will give them new cache homes. TFTC!

Found it!

#23370. Parking is tricky here, so Troodles dropped my off and I went and found the cache. Good idea to have a TB Hotel by the airport (been a while since I've found a TB hotel cache). TFTC.

TB drop, 4 removed, log later

Found with StreetWalkerNZ on a slight detour as we travel from Dunedin to Invercargill.I had some TBs to drop but forgot about them so SW had to make a second visit to drop them off Grabbed some TBs as well, though the big one was left there, it can be hard finding caches big enough for it. TFTC

nice walk through trees

A few days away caching with Nosynel. Nearly our last for the day, after doing the adventure lab nearby. I didn't drop any TBs today. Tftc, debsnz#9944

It's school ?? holidays so I don't have work. That's why I can cache any day of this week. I decided to drop four trackable off here. Hopefully they travel ?? somewhere interesting. I have tried to log 1of the trackables twice and I can't find it in my inventory.

Visiting from Wellington handy cache to the airport. A friendly feline came to say hello.

Dropped a friend off at the airport this morning with Mum so we tried to get a few out this way. Didn't move any bugs around just signed and replaced! Tftc Debs.

Sent a TB down with Daddypig.

There are three trackables listed for this cache but I found only 2 in it, which I grabbed. One was lying on the ground! I think it might have been ratted? Pity.

**#18,282**
A good hint lead to a quick find, much appreciated!
Now time for the AD Lab and maybe a coffee and pie from the Airport Cafe!!

We are on holiday and camped in Mosgiel to find the airplane geoart on blank puzzle dot days. In the area and found some other caches on our way back. Thanks for this cache debsnz.

Stopped here briefly on my way to the airport. TFTC

Flight delayed

find number 30183
Thanks debsnz for maintaining the cache
SL thanks for the hide

We arrived at the airport with plenty of time before our flight so took a walk down to this cache. Quick find and swap of TBs TFTC

Dropped by to drop off a couple of travel bugs

Dropped off some TBs

Did a drop off at the airport and decided to grab a few local caches while I was in the area. Nice pleasant easy walk from the airport along the little tree-lined track - was grabbing a puzzle/mystery cache along the way there and it wasn't too much further to walk to this one. Tftc.

Drove into Mosgiel yesterday. So this morning was set aside for seeking out and signing off some of the airport mystery caches. Started with the ones furtherest south first. Found that I was driving past this TB Hotel so I just had to stop and sign my name. Thanks for the cache debsnz

Nice easy cache

Found with goodgeo334 and we dropped a geocoin from Czech republic in hope of it moving to a different country or city.
Cool cache. There was also a cat there being very cuddly

I had to go to the airport to drop my Granddaughter off so that she could fly back home.

I parked the cachemobile down a side road near the airport so that I could walk to three of the Airport caches.

This one was the nearsest. Nice to see a regular sized cache.

Cheers for the cache.

2nd tree

I'm on a geocaching roadie from Whangarei to Dunedin. Geoarts were the main target of this trip.

In Palmy I got 2/3 of a shield and 2/3 of the 20/20 series. Wairarapa we achieved 100% of the M and some archived skindo challenges. Wellington I finished off the kiwi bar 1 dnf. Nelson I got my BGSc challenges. In Christchurch it was family time. Dunedin was another sucess with 100% of the airplane geoart. Then I flew home to say goodbye to my son heading to Denmark.

It was great to have my friend Supernanny come along on the trip for company. We had a wonderful trip and fantastic weather. I'm just finishing off writing the massive backlog of logs.

Todays target was the nearby geoart. We couldn't help grabbing this one on the way. The hotel was empty today but a lovely friendly cat was keeping the cache company. Thanks for the hide

Nice easy find after dropping friends off at the airport. My first caching in a while, as I've been in isolation - lovely to be out on such a nice sunny day (duly sanitised my hands). Not sure what the etiquette is when there is more than one trackable in a cache (these look as though they are a homemade set), but will send them on their way. TFTC.

We spotted this when we arrived last Friday but it was freezing cold and we were on the wrong side of the tree, so popped in and signed the log today on our way back to Auckland. Collected a TB to take it north.

All good. Thanks

A quick find as we drop the Korsar off to begin his journey back home. TFTC

In the area for work. Did some cheeky caching before getting into the office and a whole lot more after. Only went as far as light in the day would allow.

Out of the airport and straight to this quick find. TFTC

Popped I . Swapped out one TB.

I traveled south to meet up with the rest of the Southern Flight Crew, and together we set off on a bumpy adventure. Heaps of fun had by all and no motion sickness lol. TFTC

Popped in here to drop 5 TBs

The alarm went off at 6, to catch the red eye flight from IVC to DUD, due to depart at 7am from the east gate.
Packed my suitcase, with extra clothing, sunscreen and water.
We taxied towards the departure lounge, before putting the tray tables away, buckling up, and listening to the safety briefing and plotted course.
The pilot said the rain was going to clear late morning with a high of 17 degrees.
We departed about 5 minutes late on flight SFC, cruising speed about 105km/hr and a alltitude of about 2 feet.
We made good time, touching down at Allanton at 9.15, to add a few more passengers.
We made a few stop and starts, lefts and rights, even a small detour with better altitude to find some Kings.
Stopped mid flight for a cheese roll and a coffee at Outram, and a visit to the little boys room. Soon we were on to the tail end and reaching new heights, with a little bit of turbulence on an unmaintained gravel road, destination Everest easily reached.
I had a window seat, so great views once the low cloud lifted, was an enjoyable flight.
I must admit, I didn't solve any, but intend to one day, I just thumbed through the in-flight magazine, with phone on flight mode.
Thanks for the effort put in, and the reason to visit this area.
Stopped for a refuel in Milton, before the return flight, had a few sweets for the descend into Invers

Signed log as Southern Flight Crew or SFC quick easy find A number of TB's were dropped off
TFTC

Very cool, thanks

Good afternoon on the Taieri. TFTC

A quick find after dropping a rental car at the airport.
I must have been past this cache a few times before.
Thanks.

Sent the little one in. Tftc. Arrrrrrrrrrrgh ️️️️

Found it️
TFTC

Arrived in Dunedin for a few days as one of the kids has their final exhibition for their degree. Flew in and picked up a hire car. Well couldn’t pass a cache so close to our route. No problems finding and signing the cache. Thanks for the smiley. Maybe later in the week we will drop off some trackables.

Down to do some cellular testing, it'd be damn rude not to get a few geocaches along the way

This was the end of the Palmerston to Dunedin Airport section... the guy that created the route couldn't have made the end point any better haha. I quickly jumped out and signed, before carrying on with another section. TFTC!

TFTC debsnz, the cache was found in good order Signed, sealed and returned to GZ. 2 find(s) of 6 today, making this find #2877

We found this getting out in our local area & did not log or open due to level 3. Thank you . Was nice to get out as family in some fresh air.

2nd cache find for the day. Great place. TFTC

After an overnight stay at the Brighton Domain catching up with fellow travellers, off on a trip back to caching around Mosgiel and along the way.
Out around Momona picking up a few smilies here now. Cache found easily... added a special treat for the next finder tftc

Quick find; tftc

Had to get right into the bushes. Left no TBs and took no TBs. Great spot while at airport.

Easy find after an airport drop off.

Found with Adam and the boys. No TBs staying here. Tftc tnlnsl

Sunday in town - many hours to kill before the last flight - so lets go for most caches in a day. Check in then a trip to Outram in the rental.

Plane spotter!

Thanks and found. Logged!! Cool place for it too
