I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.
Argh, it was a matter of time before this one went walkies. We'll get it up again in the summer months.
Took kids back to find this one, but no longer there as per previous logs. Needs to be replaced.
Same as last three searchers. Found what looks like the right spot but no container. TFTC.
Found tge place its meant to go vut the container seems to have been misplaced? Contacted cache layer
My sister was in Hanmer to help celebrate her kids birthdays....so we popped up for the night to spend some time with them. Up and atoms early this morning...raining...so popped out to find a couple caches before we all donned raincoats for a forest walk. Quick find and sign here. CHeers.
Our first find in Hanmer Springs on our way though to catch a flight back home to the UK. Tftc
Escaping Christchurch for the weekend and determined to find some caches. I'm sure I've found one near here before but always a pleasure to revisit some spots. The boys didn't want to help me find this one but after a game of mini golf they agreed. Not too tricky, but not by the hooks. Tftc.
Wow, just been introduced to this new game. I’m hooked, just found my first container. Yippee
Took a really long time for us to find but once we understood the name and hint we got it.
After a quick look around I couldn't spot this one but it was getting cold and I didn't understand the hint. Another time.
Thanks for bringing me to this pretty little park. The coordinates were spot on. Well it just happens that today I met up for lunch with a sister I don't see that often as I live in the North Island and she is in the South Island. So it was a special sibling day - nice idea thanks CO.
Found it but was 24 meters away from where GPS lead us to and not a hook in sight. Beautiful spot and the kids had a play in the playground. TFTC
Tftc. Couldn't see any hooks, GPS does seem a little bit off but still reasonably easy to find.
Thanks for the cache guys me and my lovely lady were in Hamner for her Birthday and wanted to get out and about and tour cache bought us to this lovely spot.
Hmmm, looks like this one may have gone walkabouts. NOTE to people, yes it SHOULD hang on the hooks, but one recent finder said there may have been some 'cache creep' and another 'gps was out' so possibly check the bushes etc either side a few metres or more... you're looking for a small sistema container, with black tape.
I'm thinking it's still there, but just gone along the path up to 20m in either direction...
If no luck, we'll put this one on hold until it can get replaced. Thanks!

No luck today. Found a perfect spot for it but not there, and even searched surround areas.
We found 2 hooks with nothing on them. assume this is where the cache was?
we had a really good look but could not find

Very appropriate name for this cache. I'm currently in Hanmer with one of my brothers and my mother, and my brother and I found this geocache today! I could mention that we have a little sibling rivalry and competitiveness going in regarding the acquisition of caches - he's currently a little ahead of me.... Anyway, thanks for this cache, great spot for it. Think there may have been some cache creep here....
One of a small number located on our way to and in Hanmer today. My sister has mentioned the relevance of this cache’s title! See previous log. It took us a moment or two to locate, fortunately with no-one around due to drizzly conditions. #2340. TFTC.
On a geocaching adventure around the country with myself, my car and my tent. Drove almost 4000km and collected 170 caches over a week of roadtripping, camping and seeing the beautiful sights of New Zealand. Lots of fun and so many great caches were found, as well as a lot of DNF's. Apologies for copy paste post. Thank you to all cache owners. Day nine driving from Hanmer Springs to Waikawa. Thank you for the cache

Haha as soon as we pulled up in the car we knew what the hint was!!! A nice little hide here and able to rehide without looking too conspicuous! TFTC
Nice easy find in this quiet place...nice setting for a cache..but a brave hide ..thanks Roam_nz for looking after this placement
Quite a few niggles here today, but a casual sit at gz made it easy to retrieve and sign. Thanks for the cache roam_nz
I am walking the Te Araroa and found it during a relaxing day.

Three young siblings found this one, aged 1, 4 and 6 . Beautiful location
Being of the age when The Drifters recorded their 1964 classic, I knew clearly where to look. Found quickly on evening stroll around town in search for a coffee. Tftc. MattyHTassie
Fantastic to find with family and a great place to hide. Lots of fun we look forward to finding more! Thanks
Found with Julius family while on Christmas holiday in South Island and Stewart Island. Logging now as I have my own account. TFTC
I love the Drifters. A few muggles wandering around so had to watch our timing. Cool little duck lake. TFTC
On a trip around the South Island with the Gadget family. Crossing the South Island picking up some caches along the way. A stunning morning in Hamner. We’ve had a great stay but need to leave a few smilies before we leave. Tftc.
Visiting from Auckland. Spent today at the hot pools. Lunch time, came over here for a walk, nice hide. TFTC
13.40: Strolling around in Hanmer Springs, as our trusty Landcruiser wanted to have a day off[|)]. After the find we realized what the hint meant
