Ferntree Drive & House (Otago) Dunedin, South Island, New Zealand
By 111PAF on 16-Jun-15. Waypoint GC5XM4W

Time to go

Came across this greyed out cache on the home computer and fascinated by the history of the house, decided to come up in search of it. I'd noticed that 111PAF had temporarily disabled a number of caches (possibly all of them), probably because of lockdown earlier, and hoped to find the cache nevertheless, as we are in Level 2 now. No such luck: hunted low and lower but didn't come across it . Oh well, lovely to be brought up this way anyway and to be introduced to the history of the house, which I got a better view of further down the road. Thanks 111PAF. Hope to come back this way again when the cache is re-enabled.

Disabled, no caching

Found it

Had walked past here the other day after trying for some failed caches thinking the feature at the footpath would make a noice cache place but didn't really notice the house. Loaded the cache details and found a dry micro tucked away at the spot. Dry and ok, cache popped back where found. A quiet lane in the rabbit warren of streets behind Wakari circumventing the gullies that devide the hill suburbs exploring wooded paths and ended up down at the Kindy on a great day for a walk only having to walk back up! to the residence. 5pt **TSOD** TFTC 111PAF

Felt like a pro finding this one! TFTC

Our first find for 2021. Love the history and story with this cache. End find, good clues! TNLNSL THANK YOU - @kiwicaches

First one for 2021, kids loved the walk to it and the history about the house. Great location. Thank you

Pretty tricky to found. But we found it in the end. Having fun with our cousins.

Okay again

Covid-19 pandemic Alert Level 4 so no one should go caching, stay home, stay in your bubble, save lives.

Thanks heaps. Was my first ever find

A secluded little cul-de-sac that certainly offers a lot of privacy. Except a nearby dog just wouldn't stop barking. Cache quickly located, thank you.

Thank you for this lovely gift

DNF here for me today.

It either hard to find or it’s not there

Seeing that there was a fresh new log sheet I went back to change this one to a smiley. I still find this neighbourhood intimidating, and there are plenty of people who can see what you are up to even during working hours, but found it this time. Phew. Thanks PAF

Quick find. TFTC

Did this, new logsheet

TFTC! Easy find, out caching with cara2403 and animalgirlnz.
Interesting history of Ferntree Lodge, enjoyed walk through Ferntree reserve too. Thanks for luring us here.

Needs new logbook. It is very full

Found by: Islay, Peter, and Belinda. A great spot to hide a Geocache and we had fun finding it!

#6019. I am down in Dunedin for the weekend. Had a work meeting on Thursday and Friday and decided to stay on to do some geocaching. So have hired a rental car. Today I am mostly going to walk the tracks up around Flagstaff Peak. But picking up several caches on the way. This was one of them. Wasn't sure about parking near GZ so parked down below and walked up the narrower street. Soon got to GZ and the hint had me looking in the right spot immediately. Quick find. Kept an eye out for muggles but none were seen. Signed and replaced the cache as found. Thanks for hiding it here 111PAF.

Thanks! All the way from Sydney, Australia.

Another dunnas road trip caching up with kjr. On a mission along the pineapple track.time to head back into town grabbing a few along the way nice quick find tftc. Thats an odd location for a cache neighborhood watch and all

Shame couldn't see more of Dunedin's oldest house

Found 17.6.18

Definitely only a glimpse! TFTC

I’d never heard of this place so thanks for bringing me here! I want to go home and learn more about it (like who owns it now!)

Good spot. Clever hide

I have often heard of this house so it was great today to be able to see it.
Thanks

A great afternoon caching in the Dunedin area, about 32 caches for the day a few good up and down walks and a bit of bush bashing and a lot of fun had. Many Thanks Bitsprayer.

Fun to have a look at the house!

What a lovely area! Tftc

Nice find tyftc with juju

Nice quick find with DocnDi again and a slight view only of the lovely old house. Amazing. TFTC

You don't need to look in the living room. Go to the fence.

A bit of a random find after abandoning attempts at a couple of wherigos, partly collecting what was needed for a multi and coming across a huge bog on my way to another cache. Luckily the neighbourhood watch didn't seem to be doing their job today allowing me to make the quick find and a quick getaway. Thanks for the very interesting cache description - I may need to return to better appreciate it after reading that. TFTC # 11,700

Quick detour on the way home from work. Glad cache was located fairly quickly as a very barky dog at the house nearby. TFTC

O for goodness sake! This was found recently too. Just thought that after about 10 mins an otherwise perfectly respectable member of society grovelling after a micro that she couldn't find, in a flash neighbourhood, might arise too much suspicion. So I left.

Spontaneous geocache trip on the way home. Found quickly with dexterslabs TFTC!

What a lovely bridge beautiful Irish setter in a house near by. TFTC

Quick find while geowife had yet another stare at her favourite house -- the big yellow one just across the street.

TNLN. TFTC.

Convenient to grab as met for a tramping trip nearby. Thanks.

Sneaky one

Took us a little minute to find! But got it in the end!

Bit of stealth needed at 8pm for this one as the lower property were having a dinner party and I didn't want to attract their attention from my torchlight. Seems like I timed it well between people arriving and leaving. Most of the searching was done by touch in the end and was rewarded with what is the signature type of cache from this CO. Put back where found, all in good condition. Now off to watch GoT as winter is here

Enjoying holidaying in the area with tmann421.

A nice quick find for us here today. TFTC

Another nice quick find for us today.
We enjoyed geocaching around this area.

Mr Rex made it harder for himself attempting to find this one just on dusk...but after a touch of writhing, the cache was in hand and the views of the ol' homstead looked spectacular...TFTC

Lovely little area, no idea this place existed! TFTC
