Thanks for the cache. This was great!!!

Such an awesome cache. Very well put together. TFTC

Found it but it was locked so I couldn't sign the log by the way I'm a new to this so can anyone tell me what TFTC means

Very cleaver set up! Easy enough to park and quick to complete. Wish Id bought some TBs to stay. TFTC.

Wow. So cool. One of the best Ive seen/found. Beware of wildlifeTftc

So much effort has gone into creating this. Thanks for the cache!

Thanks for the cache! Taking the travel bug bell to my friend whos from Tasmania in the hopes for it to get to its goal!!

??

Fun find didnt realise u had a guard spider

cheeky spider

Thankyou !

Wonderful cache, we take this trackable that Will visit Spain!TFTC

1 month ago, I was working at the compound just 5m away from this cache! I was there for a good 10 minutes and didn't notice this at all! Anyways what a fantastic hotel. I love the locks and design of the inside, thank you for your effort! I took 2 trackables and left 2. Tftc

Fun cache with the keys and the lock!! Kids really enjoyed it!

Great destinations are always worth the travel to get there. Walked in from my parking and pleasantly surprised to find this grand hotel here. Enjoyed my short stay but did not have anything to leave or move on. Got to have a fave point for this.TFTC

After my last visit to the Hotel, I dropped off a number of TB's but clearly forgot to check them in.Sorry to all the owners who have been missing them.

So cool

What an amazing little hotel! Love the effort in this one! Grabbed some TB's to take to Capital GeoBash next weekend!

Found with strickenaza34, was a fun find

Nice hotel! I have one very similar that I'm still completing and hopefully will be active very soon further up North. Grabbed a TB as geokid going to Ireland in a few weeks, so will release it there. TFTC

There were workers on cranes and cherry pickers right around GZ, so I decided to leave it for another day.

Today I have a simple mission: get from Newcastle to Singleton. And I have all day to do the <2 hour drive. So naturally, I opt to go via Sydney, make it an all-day road trip, and collect some choice geocaches along the way. What a sensible, rational, and obvious plan!Not too far down the highway, and enjoying the drive, it was time to exit and aim for geocaches in this area. After a bit of a walk for another, I headed here. Naturally, I approached from the wrong way so had to drive a bit farther, do A U-turn and could happily park in the roomy space right near GZ. What a handy little location!I chose to duck out of the view of passing cars and up the steps and into the bush quickly. I had been attracted here by the size and favourites love, so I was excited to see what awaited. It obviously did not take long to locate. Now just a matter of getting in. A cheeky hint of a field puzzle, but nothing at all lengthy and difficult. It was good fun to pop open the door and see within.Perhaps, of all the trackable hotels I've found, this was the best stocked. I spent a while noting tracking details as I don't want to be the guy that lifted them all and left nothing for the next finder to discover. sSomewhere in there I signed the logbook, and closed everything back as found by 13:15. What a joy to find this geocache, I am so glad I did. Thank you for this excellent hide, Rama497

So many frens at hotel :> TFTC

MOCHI WAS HERE!!!! YATTA tftc :> left a trackable, and took a trackable ty

tftc

Bit posh aint it? LOL. What a hotel. Just wonderful, though i think the full sign should be put out. Been trying to offload these 4 for ages, took them to Brisbane, and forgot, took them to Adelaide, forgot. I dont like TB's as i forget about them. Must not pick up any. TFTC. Fav from me.

I completed another check today as when I was last there, I could not find any quests in the hotel.The register said there were 3, so a quick check today and I was correct, they have left the hotel without checking out.I have now marked them as missing. I hope the caches who took them remember to log them into their collection.Whilst I was there, I replaced the outer log book bag and dropped off some new travelers.The hotel is pumping again.RegardsRama497.

Our family are relocating from Rural Queensland to Canberra. And aiming to do 100 caches in our travels.Thank-you for the cache, I enjoyed seeing part of the neighbourhoods in Sydney to get here. I am upset that I forgot my TB at home that I was suppose to drop off. .:' __ :'__ .'`__`-'__``. :__________.-' :_________: :_________`-; `.__.-.__.'

The maintenance crew has finally completed repairs to the hotel. The locks have been replaced. A spring clean has been completed, yes I know it is summer. The hotel is waiting for its next guests. Cache on. . . . . .

Came to swap some TBs but none to be found. Nice cache and effort appreciated. TFTC

TFTC and the awesome Travel Bug Hotel. A favourite from me. I travelled without a travel bug. Cant believe I left it at home. Im down for my granddaughters year 10 formal. Collected a few caches along the way. Now Im sitting in the cool of Castle Hill RSL waiting for my daughter to have a cuppa before yr 10 arrive.

5 stars. Would stay again.

The temp fix is still holding, tftc

I came to this one to find the door open. There were no TBs inside...just some containers and the log book. I did now know how to close the door, so I went back to the car and got something to do the job.

I am now aware of the issue with the locks and hope to have fixed very soon.

Dark skies threatened to call off my plan to attempt this find, but I'm glad I came! As previous finders have noted, lock is broken, but everything inside is in good condition.TFTC!

Dropped by to grab a couple of TBs for an overseas trip. On arrival the door was wide open and I was unable to secure it properly. Despite a little bit of water inside everything seemed ok, although I could only see two TBs. I hope to bring back a few trackables to replace these two.

The twelfth geocache we have foundThe key seemed to be broken when we found it

Greetings from Ireland!

I am driving from Sydney to Brisbane over around 5 days and stopping at certain caches as I go.

This cache -

Quick find here, locks both appear to be missing. Took the 4 TBs as I can give them great mileage. FP! Tftc!

Was sad to see the lock broken but relieved nothing was damaged inside! Hope it’s an easy fix for you. Swapped over some TBs

Aah, im covered in bugs!!

This is a very lovely TB motel !
There's currently lots of visitors.

We're moving one out and two in.

Tftcsl!

Such a cool TB hotel, well laid out and a pleasure to visit. Although we didn’t check in, just signed the visitors book, thanks Rama497

Called in to check on guests, found that everyone has left. I checked out the TB that we’re still logged here.
Checked in some new TB’s.

I will have to come back and fix one of the locks as it has become broken.

Anyway it is still usable.
Cache on ……

BEST GEOCACHE EVER highly recommend to do if your in the area. TFTC. This is getting a favourite point.

Found! Tricky spot to get into with geokids - caution required crossing busy roads.
Great hiding of the key, there weren’t 9 TBs in here though… picked up 2 to relocate them on our way home. TFTC!

Caching from Asheville, North Carolina, USA! Thanks for bringing us to this area. Dropped two TB’s from the States, took 3. Signed and replaced exactly as found. TFTC.

Great one

Great cache! Found with my daughter on the way back up the coast. Seeing all the travel bugs has inspired us to create one TFTC

Drew picollo from dragon ball in the logbook

Really cool!

A little bit dangerous, but a great cache!

Love this one!

Dropped some TBs and grabbed a couple to move on!

Great big cache! Swapped a flamingo for about 7 little metal trinkets. Lid was pretty tight. OCW NS. TFTC

I stopped here on my way back to the airport.
What a lovely cache-Hotel!!!
I took 2 TB‘s out and take them with me back to Austria..
This cache is absolutely worth a favorite point for me as i haven’t seen such cool „containers“

What an amazing cache! Thank you for this one. Dropped off 5 TBs ️

Definitely the largest cache I've found!

Have a calendar gap that required filling. Pulled into hotel and checked out one of the simple tags. Good job on the hotel. Earns 5 stars from me.

Came to visit this hotel with ilook4geo. If all the residents here were paying customers the hotel owner would be making a fortune. We both signed the visitors' book and made sure the door was securely locked before we left. Thanks go to Rama497 for setting up a very nice TB hotel.

There were so many TB's in residence here. It seems to be a very popular hotel. The door was locked but we gained easy access with goingplaces2 and our names were soon noted in the book. Thanks for bringing us here and TFTC.

Dropped a couple of TBs off that had become marooned in one of my caches on the Central Coast.

Second visit today, dropped 3, took 2! Tfttbh!

Amazing spot... I'll be back with some friends for sure... Awesome drop point

Very cute!

So much fun.

Wow what an amazing TB hotel! Love finding caches like this. Have dropped off a snow globe TB from northern NSW and taken a couple with me to journey on. TFTC

Out caching today with Lee737, Samuel737, Banj5150 and barefootjeff , we had just finished a very long walk so decided to focus on some shorter walks in the area. Spotted this one on the map so stopped and were surprised to find such a clever container, i tend to avoid TB's as I forget to drop them off but this hotel is really well stocked. Thanks for the cache Rama497 tnln replaced as found sl

Saw this after doing the nearby AL spot, stopped and grabbed it while we were here. Really cool cache, fun to open and LOTS of tbs to discover/take/drop in the cache!

FP awarded for big size, cool spot and all the TBs

I was out caching in northern Sydney today with Mighty Minions, Banj5150 and Team737. After doing the first couple of stages of an AL, we made a slight detour to check out some caches. This one is a beauty! I didn't have any trackables to check in but I'll bear it in mind if I need to find some temporary accommodation for TBs that come my way.

Many thanks for the well-constructed hotel.

We were caching in the area with Mighty Minions, barefootjeff and Banj5150, after doing a near 8km walk for a virtual, we put off the next walk, deciding on a driving Adventure Lab instead. After finding the nearby AL info we walked over to this one, finding the very well appointed hotel, well stocked with TBs. We added two TBs, and took 3 with us (we had trouble getting the door closed!). Thanks for putting in a great effort with this one..... and - watch your head on the way out!

Found with Team 737, Mighty Minions and barefootjeff while caching around the Northern Sydney area.
A great TB hotel, though I had none with me to visit. TFTC

Found during a quick roadside stop on the way by. Beautiful design and setup. FP from me. TFTH

Came to collect the hornet - was blown away by such an impressively placed cache.
Spent a few minutes in the rain enjoying the views of the F3.

Was getting a bit dark (8pm) - if I got here earlier I may have braved a slice of cake too - not today though!

Tftc Rama.

SL, collected 4 TB, LN.

Very big very cool yes

I saw this on the map last week and, as I havent visited a bug hotel before, saved it to log for my 100th find (woohoo! ). The weather is lovely today, if a bit burny. I was a bit nervous crossing the road but got here safely and was very pleased to find such a cool cache!! I've taken a couple of bugs and also made a swap - I also wasn't sure if I was supposed to log ALL the bugs as seen, but a lot of the codes said they were invalid? So I just decided to take some that worked. TFTC

Drop TB into Hotel.

Called in today for a quick drink on the way home and to check on the current guests.

All are going well.

Dropped TB

Dropped TB in to Hotel

Dropped TB in to Hotel.

️First find in Australia!️

U. S. Geocacher here! Found it with hubby Bourenredi . We took 11 travelers and left 11 travelers that came with us from the U. S. Now there's some miles! Hotels are our favorite caches and this one was really well taken care of. TFTH.

Awesome TB Hotel, thank you! Dropped some TB and took some TB

Wow, what a great cash container, keys were easily retrieved, and it looks like the hotel is fully booked.

I've taken one of the quests which will come with me on a trip in the next few weeks.

TFTC.

Dropping off 6 TBs that I've held onto for too long. Time for someone else to take them for a ride.

OCW frazeydaze who was after a cache to help her qualify for an "Old School NSW Challenge" cache. To appease my caching appetite frasey agreed to add some more caches to the days activities which included this cache. Unfortunately I didn't have any TBs to leave/swap today. TFTC

Out caching with oldmorty finding caches from the TGHTH series.
So glad the CO identified a parking spot for this TB Hotel.
Easy venture in but poor oldmorty almost knocked himself out bashing into the tree branch at the exit.
Thanks to Rama497 for placing the cache.

Wonderful cache! Well worth the t!

TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity. A most impressive hotel.

Our first of this kind. Thanks heaps. Very cool!!!

We have a few trackables that need to be moved on and after a series of micro finds the kids were keen for a larger cache, so we jumped on the M1 (or F3 as Grandad still insists on calling it) to pay a visit to this hotel.

Due to a miscommunication we parked a bit further away than was required, but the kids were amazed when they spotted the required numbers and letters. After a bit of further searching we managed to get into the hotel to further shouts of delight from the kids. What a well stocked and maintained hotel.

We traded a few trackabkes before checking out of the hotel and heading on our way.

Thanks for the Cache!

Best Find Ever! This was so cool and exciting!!
