Hunted for a while couldn't see, got excited thinking we could get the 6th one today but then read comments after like 10mins checked the comments and realised we should give up. Hope it gets replaced soon..
Came here with a friend who wants to find it and since I had already found it he wanted me to show him after a few minutes of searching I showed him the place but it was gone. Considering the last logs I think it needs replacing.
Believe this should have been quite an ingenious hide however we searched all possible versions without success. suspect it is gone as GZ possibility certainly didn’t have it. Look forward to finding in the future TFTC
After Level 1 I went for Level 2. Had some problems finding the right approach, and walked around almost the whole block before making the attack. Still not quite sure where to go, I ascended some escalators and eventually found a way to GZ. Nobody around made it easy to perform the necessary searching before discovering the well hidden cache.
I didn’t realise there was another car park here. You learn something new everyday. TFTC.
This was the third day of my driving trip down to Oamaru for Geofest 2017. I stopped every five to ten kms or so along the way to grab a cache. This expanded my driving time to a total of two weeks to get there and home again. I ended up going a total of 3,500 kms.
The hardest part was getting out of the Mall and past the security guard. TFTC.

#409. It is not so chaotic now, although Queensgate is still not fully repaired yet. Also this cache is actually on Level 2, not Level 3, unless you count the ground floor as Level 1. Which in NZ we don't. Anyway, nice easy find. Tftc 05Brock.
This is a very clever spot for a cache! Took me a while to find it as my GPS confused me a bit. Study of previous logs and hint proved to be the winning combination. TFTC
Checked cache, it is still there. Level 2 is still out of bounds, may have to consider moving it.
Some people are so picky about the name of the caches. In fact this was to "trick" the cachers to where it actually was, nobody, nor the webpage, stated that it was on the specified level.
Cache is disabled because of the earthquake. Cache is off limits. Any logs submitted will be deleted.
It is quite a while since we have found one hidden in this way. However our memory served us well and the cache was quickly in hand. TFTC
Quick find tonight in the obvious spot, was amazed at the stupidity of some cachers though - who in their right mind places an unwrapped gelatin lolly in a geocache! [:(!] *TFTC 05brock, #9118*
Found while on a quick visit to Queensgate. Not a bad view from the third level. TFTC
I guessed where the cache was likely to be hidden as I approached - an easy find. TFTC.
Was an interesting one, took a bit longer than we expected to find it. But good spot
Nice quick one, good to save for a public holiday like today. Log is full!
Mostly cars up here, but not so many muggles at this time of the day. Found the cache really quickly. TFTC
Staying in Lower Hutt for the weekend to attend a function - great opportunity to do some geocaching and earn a leap day souvernir Godispojken and I went on a little geocaching hunt while leaving the muggle husband behind at the hotel with a beer. We were lucky that there were very few people around the GZ. Godispojken quickly found the clever hide. TFTC
Thought we would take a leisurely drive through Wellington--should be OK on Sunday, right? Wrong! Chinese New Year celebration and hordes of cars and people! We beat a hasty retreat to Lower Hutt, where we found a Starbucks to calm our nerves. Then we did some leisurely caching in the area... TFTC. Mahalo and Aloha from Hawaii.
#1273 I had to pop in to Lower Hutt on the way home so took the opportunity to grab a cache at the mall. It took far too long to find this cache as I looked high and low but not in the right place for rather a while.
Once I found the cache I then found the logsheet full. Managed to squeeze a signature and date, however this will need a little love soon.
Thanks for my smilie today

Level two complete, now we're heading up in the world!
A couple of smoko muggles near by, but I think we managed a quick find without causing them any reason to glance our way. Shame we don't have time for any shopping today.
Thanks 05brock

Been to this shopping center so many times and never noticed these caches here - Not sure why. Parked on Level 3 today (as busy for Christmas shopping) and Mycro Man quickly found the cache. Thanks for the quick find.
Looked a bit harder today while no-one was looking and there it was.
No pen so will write a log in the book probably tomorrow.

Quick find while waiting to go to movies. Gets a fav from me as well done in a built up area. TFTC
Applied lessons learnt from the cache on the level below and Lisa had the cache in hand before I got out of the car. Sneaky hiding spot that we have fortunately seen utilised before. SLTFTC
Great hiding place. Took a while to understand the clue as the gps was bouncing around all over the place.
We were wondering what all the cars were doing up here at night but realised they are all enjoying the cinema. We quickly grabbed the cache and then on our way. TFTC
#1876 I was in the area and had time to kill so decided to make a couple of finds while there weren't many people about. Nice quick find here between muggles heading home from work. TFTC!
Surprised to see so many cars parked on the top floor in the middle of a rainy day during the week. I guess this is the staff car park!
Cache # 2,627 - very quick find late at night with Downunder Wanderer. We were a bit concerned that there might be security roaming the garage, but still in time for late movie goers to half-fill the lot, so no problems. Very reminiscent of a number of caches found on my last trip to the US. TNLNSL. TFTC!
Arrived in the hutt and straight to shopping! Whilst the geowife shopped the geoson and I searched. Easy find! TFTC.
Thanks for the cache. Quick find thanks to my helpful assistant who just found her first cache.
6985. Up here on holiday from Christchurch. Here to have lunch today. Knew there was a cache somewhere in a carpark so went for a walk upstairs and found it within seconds - no GPS, no map, no hint - just used geosense! Thanks for a very easy cache. Rodney and Iris.
I came down for a funeral close by and got there early so went for this cache
The name didn't mean anything so after much walking the streets my non Geocaching son pointed out what if so although now a bit short of time went for it a FP as well many thanks

Greetings from an Auckland Cacher. Was in town for my Dad's birthday, and for work.
Had an hour spare, so out I went I took my muggle mother and her dog as well
As soon as I got out the car I knew where it would be....as I have a cache hide like this

Took the easy aspect and drove to GZ. My intention had been to try and get the Level 2 cache but there was a whole bunch of muggles gathered about the top so wisely decided against intruding. Headed up to the next level and with the phone sorta providing the general direction head over to an obvious location. A quick find and used the convenient shelter to fill in the log while protected from the slight drizzle that had started. Thanks for the hide.
Needed a park and grab and have been saving this one. Easy find although self consious may be watchers! TFTC
