One of the best caches Ive seen in ages (and ever)! Love the effort that went into this! Left a bug and took a couple to take to Japan. TFTC! Found with hereliesmadge
I just had to come back to this amazing cache! I assisted some TBs with their check-in at the beautiful day spa and retreat. They have travelled with me to 22 countries in the past few months but my health has taken a turn so I would love for them to continue their adventures! It was so good to see Peppa again. I was busted the first time I visited and now busted again. Thank you for maintaining this one for the community Peppa!
Another fun cache with La Kedi! I took the Norwegian travel bug to take back to Canada with me in 3 weeks. Excellent TB hotel and fave point. Thanks!
Out and about early this morning to pick up a few caches while the geowife completes a course. Made my way to the south side and quickly made my way to ground zero, where it didnt take long to locate the prize having solved a Davidwazza multi on the north side a few months agoLog extracted and signed. Replaced safely and off on the next adventure.A big thanks to the cache owner ( awesome work Peppa) for making this cache available for the enjoyment of others.Cheers
So I make my way toward him keeping to the shadows and watch him rummaging in some sort of cupboard on the fence of Unseen University. I decided to just watch for a while to see if he was indeed engaged in anything unlawful. While standing in the lee of a building opposite and down the Alley a bit an equally scabby looking individual came shuffling by shouting something about trak ables and logs. The pair engaged in what look like some kind of rite or ceremony, noted something in a book attached with string, shut the cupboard and then they laboured off the way them came talking about passages. One of my stranger nights on watch!
On our Australian trip . After travelled from Darwin to Perth over the GRR, now on the Eastcoast .Starting from Cairns, Port Douglas, Airlie Beach, Platybus Camp and Bush Camp Broken River, Graignesh, Maryborough, South Nanango, Noosa and now in Brisbane .We slept near the shore on a lovely spot and then we met my relative today, I have never seen before .In the afternoon we looked for some caches with a lot of favos. Some we received from the event from yesterday .So cool handcrafted TB-Hotel .Of course worth minimum one favo!TFTC# 18'022
In this area for work and like always arrived pretty early so instead of sitting in my car relaxing, I thought I would head to a local spa and health retreat!Initially was a bit stuck but then found what I needed. Thanks so much for the great effort placed in making and also maintaining this cache, and the love that goes into all the travel bugs that are dropped off here. Grabbed a travel bug to move on.. Favourite for me for all your effort!
Came for this cache on the last day of winter. Thanks peppa for the additional hints! The internal artworks are impeccable. Nabbed a TB too. TFTC
Maybe if I'd come here first, I might not have been so badly used by your other cache at Banoon. I read this cache page a couple of times before the penny dropped. Happily, it was the right penny in the right slot. Consequently, I stood at ground zero and all was magically revealed. I was still a bit upset about Banoon, but I could now see the relationship between the names. In the world of movies, the sequel is usually just that, a follow-up. In my humble opinion, these two are like the first two instalments in the Terminator franchise.
We found this cache during our road trip from Tasmania to Queensland. It was great to catch up with the CO. TFTC
Wow. Arrived at GZ not quite knowing what to expect. This is definitely in the top 10 of caches we have found. TFTC SL dropped TB and took TB x 2
I decided to visit the Rainbow TB Day Spa & Health Retreat. Awesome TB hotel. Picked up 3 TBs and will move along soon. Thank you Peppa for placing this cache.
What an absolutely incredible cache. Firstly we got stumped by the access code. Just could not wrap my brain around this. Reached out to the CO by message and next thing Im hearing a voice. I thought I had finally cracked. Actually turns out the CO was home. Now that was some luck as we wouldnt have worked this out. But thankfully the CO has the patience of a saint and we eventually worked out the correct combination. We enjoyed every part of this cache. From the setup to the code to the picture painted. And of course logging a heap of TBs who doesnt enjoy that. And Mrs Ambayu gets that lucky job.We dropped off three TBs including a couple of bigger sized ones. And have taken three to move on. Thanks Peppa absolutely cracking cache. Definitely worth a FP. Only wish I could give 2.
Such a great TB hotel! This is very clever and was probably the best TB hotel Ive found!TFTCGiving a fave!R@9$
Incredible! We are on a school holiday adventure getting some lunch on the other side of town. Had to stop in! No TBs to swap but will take one on a global adventure

Thankfully the manager was but a PM away and promptly pointed her guest in the right direction. Certainly a well-appointed establishment
Awesome cache! Fooled me a few moments until I figured out the trick. TFTC +fave
Previously visited the cache, so when we were nearby this morning I used the opportunity to drop off the Tech Tag TB that was with us. Many happy km's ahead for you!PS: Really wish I had some more time to look at all the current occupants. Still the best TB hotel I've seen!
Up in Brisbane for Magic Round (and of course caching!)- bit of touring around to different parts of the city.What a cache! A cracker to open this one- very clever.TFTC!
In Brisbane for the weekend with steeba as part of our annual pilgrimage for Magic Round.In between games we were able to get out and find a few caches in the greater Brisbane area.Had a lot of fun finding these caches. Thanks This what caching is all about. The detail on all levelsTFTC
Another creative cache to find today! I love the setup here. Thanks for bringing me by!
Today I returned to this awesome cache with fivegk. It definitely has not lost its charm, and still ranks as one of my favourites.
I had to travel to Acacia Ridge to pick up some equipment, and because it was my lunch break, I decided to visit the Rainbow TB Day Spa & Health Retreat, as I had heard good reports, and as we all know, good reviews are everything these days.On arrival, I noticed that the door was locked, so because it was quite warm, I went back to my car to see if I was able to get into the Day Spa. It only took a few minutes for the lightbulb to switch on, and I realised what I needed to do to enter this establishment. On opening the door, I was enthusiastically greeted by the receptionist, who made sure that everyone knew I was there. Such a great employee truly needs a lot of praise (and maybe a bone).The inside of the Rainbow TB Day Spa & Health Retreat exceeded my expectations; very clean and tidy, and luxuriously appointed with beautiful rooms for its clientele. This Health Retreat was highly praised by all the occupants that I met, and I can tell that the clients look so much better after being treated in this day spa than what they would have looked coming in.Its a shame that I needed to cross the river to the dark side to attend this delightful location. If it were closer to the Sunshine Coast, I would visit more often. Unfortunately, its possibly a one-off visit, however I am more than happy to give this Day Spa & Health Retreat a five-star rating (or at least a Favourite Point).Thank you, Peppa, for providing this valuable service to our community. I will always remember my visit to the Rainbow TB Day Spa & Health Retreat, and will recommend it to others.
I had amassed quite a few TBs lately. Somebody "kindly" gave me quite a lot at the last event I attended. This seemed like a good spot to leave them. I had not looked at the cache before arriving, and I was concerned at my capability to open the lock. I had been messaging the CO about another cache, so I asked a question about this one. The reply was prompt, but my musings had arrived at the same conclusion anyway. Thanks for the help Peppa. I can't say I marvelled at this creation, because having seen some of the CO's other efforts I was expecting great things. Suitably undisappointed with this marvellous creation, I dropped my collection of TBs and liberated slightly greater number. Note to self - log TBs. Thanks for a fun few hours out Peppa, and of course another fav point for this one.
With the number of points, finding this cache was a must. Made a detour on my way home from work and quickly found what I was looking for when I arrived at the GZ. After checking the attributes, I soon had the code necessary to allow access and check-in.Working on completing a few challenges at present and finding this cache helps with my 366 Find Date Calendar.Dropped off Tonka Truck TB and took Sheeps on the Journey TB.TFTletterboxC. SL. Point awarded for effort and creativity. TBs Prado Owl , The Great Leap Forward Geocoin , Rawhide , Surrey Travel Tag and Kiwi Bird visited.Find # 1978.
This one took me longer than I care to admit. Took a couple of tbs to send on their way next week.
Sorry for the late log. Found with stairman1 and Team Herbz. We are spending the weekend with Herbz. We decided the new EV needed a charge so we plugged her into the charger at Inala. This cache needed to be found so we headed down here. It was so hot today. Geodogs were feeling it thats for sure. We arrived at gz and stood and scratched our head. Lucky for us Mr Herbz is a computer guru and knew what to do. Soon we had the container open. Wow just wow. ?? This is what caching is all about.Names in log we headed back to the air conditioned shopping centre.Fantastic cache. Worthy of a favourite point.
Up in Brissy staying with Goldilover and Stairman1 for Australia Day. We have two EVs between us both of which needed charging and were making use of the nearby fast charges.Whilst we were waiting for our batteries to charge we decided to come and look for this cache. We hot footed the 1.2 kms to GZ with our 3 geomuts in tow, concerned that we didn't want to be late back at our cars and keep anyone waiting. Once we arrived at GZ none of us could work out how to open the lock. Alas no one heard our romantic cries so we thought we had better get back to our cars. We discussed what we needed to do on our return walk but couldn't come up with a solution so in the end we did a couple of PAFs, one of then came up trumps,although later on Mr Herbz did mention that he had worked out what we needed to do but had decided not to tell anyone else! Once we'd got back to the cars we drove around try it out what we've been told and voila, the door opened. Wow, wow,wow, what a fantastic cache. Just love it! A definite FP from us.
Found with goldielover and team herbz and a bunch of dogs. We have beevn to Scarborough today attending an event and returning home to charge up our EVs near by. Knowing this cache has been on my must do list for so long with all these favourites on the board, it was really time to grab it. It takes about 1 hour to charge the cars so we should have enough time to travel 1.5km and back in that time. Off we go and soon at gz. We'll this is interesting. After trying all the normal stuff, except the grinder. All with no success and time running out fast. It's not right to leave the car charging while full. So we had to abandon the search and head back. Arrived just in time as both were full. Now armed with a little info, our return visit was much more productive. This is easy ( when you know what to do) what a great cache. Thanks for your cache.Easy favourite point here.
Just needed to drop by with lfg2 as this is a definite fun one to find especially for a new geobuddy. Grabbed a couple of tb's as 1 wanted to travel to our home Territory. It will be traveling with us real soon. Cheers and Happy New Year.
Found the combination pretty quick surprisingly. Really creative cache. Thank you! Found with FischerBoy99
Wasnt sure how to unlock it but smart old F15CHER got it sorted. What a great cache thanks a lot chief
I spotted this on the map on our way to pick up a car part, and suggested we detour over here. Must be good, I figured, with all those favourite points By the time I wandered over to GZ, ruzzelz had sorted the code. I plugged in the numbers and we opened up the cache... Wow just Some work has gone into this magnificent day spa and health resort. We poked around inside but didnt take any trackables today. I may be back to drop off a couple tho. Also going online to book a day spa package to iron out the kinks in my sore muscles. Hoping to avail myself of mates rates This left a smile on my face that lasted all day Dropping off a **fave.**TFTC Peppa
Wow, wow, . This has got to be one of the best caches I have ever found for construction and concept. Made a serious attitude change in my thinking that caches should be about location, location, location - this type of cache now has a place in my caching hall of fame. Well done Peppa.
The code had us so bamboozled. Peppa came to the rescue thankfully! absolutely astonished by this cache and as newbies, we are so thankful to have experienced it. Peppa gets our FP
Down in SEQ for a few days to celebrate the life of a caching ambassador and a great friend Karicka. It’s more than likely he’d found this one.
Back in BrisVegas to grab some rare DT targets today with BenM70 and greencordial. This was our final find in the area today before heading back to Toowoomba and it was definitely worth the stop.
Awesome container and genius way of acquiring the code. I wish I’d thought of that myself. I can see why it’s acquired so many favourite points so quickly. Anyone who doesn’t leave a FP should forget caching and go back to collecting Munzees. I expect to see this at the top of the QLD leaderboard before too long.
Thanks Peppa for the time, effort and expense you have put into creating this. Next time I’m in the area I will seek out your other hides.

We are down this weekend to pay respects to Rickard and family and to celebrate the life of a nice bloke well lived. We are doing as he would expect and picking up cache finds that he had likely found.
What a fantastic Trackable Hotel. Can’t say I’ve found a better one of these ever . Understandable now why it is such a favourite magnet. First rate interior designing.
I suggested to Mark that we go out of our way to check out your cache as I’d heard on the grapevine and have been meaning to check out your caches for a while now. Certainly did not disappoint. You have set the bar high now for your caches. Will have to visit a few more on further trips to the great south east.
I’ve deposited a few trackables as well as checked out the ones in their respective suites.
Thanks Peppa for placing this amazing .
Instantly checked in a favourite Point Robbie and reminded a previous attendee that they said it was a favourite but forgot to add one. Couldn’t believe this had only 94% favourited. I do believe it could overtake a caterpillar on that zipline.
PS. Someone had to help be there to help burgo gain access.

On a road trip to QOGM 2023 in Longreach with MorganEd from New Zealand.???????????? This cache was the first for the trip and one I'd been saving for the spell September challenge. Tried the method suggested to get the lock code but couldn't see all of it on my screen so had to PAF for the rest to get it open. The doggies serenaded us and a neighbour came to see what we were up to so we said hello to her.Loved this one, very well done!Leaving it a favourite point. ??
This is definitely worth a FP ️ What a fantastic cache! There was even a rainbow to celebrate our find this afternoon
1st stop for the day!! Another amazing Peppa Cache, definitely a fav point for this Out with Itste, TFTC
Out with KiwiMandN for a few hours and what better cache to start our day off then this one. Love the hotel spa retreat! Thanks for bringing us here. A favourite point from me! TFTC ️️️
12683. Located by baby&Mrs gopher while out caching with Simber15 for the day at 1445. Once armed with the code the retreat was opened with ease. The amount of TB's inside was amazing SL Tnx Peppa and FP from us. Took TB

So glad we got to do this one, what an awesome cache. Thanks soooo much Peppa.

We are now heading north to avoid the coldest of the winter weather in Victoria. Loving our time around Brisbane and around the area. This one we had targeted with all the fav points and it didn't disappoint.
Mr H and myself came yesterday and obviously the good guards over the fence, were on high alert. We tried many different things clearly had gone down the wrong tangent and after feeling we had annoyed the neighbours enough, we left empty handed.
Tonight we returned with Moosetash and with more info. The guard dogs, weren't on guard tonight, which allowed us to use the info needed to quickly access the hide. So much a talent and care has gone into this. I wish I could come relax in this little retreat. Dropped off a few tired TB and picked up a few refreshed TB's who are now ready to hit the road again.
Thanks Peppa for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.

After Happy Feet came home yesterday talking about this one we had to come and grab it. We certainly weren’t disappointed! What a super cache, such an effort has gone in to making and maintaining it. After thinking carefully about the hint we thought we knew how to get past security and turns out we were correct! Great cache all round! Thanks
So glad another geocacher pointed this cache out to me. I had a bunch of TBs brought over from the US to drop off (I put them in blue drawers) and took a random few to travel around with me. Favorite point given for the hard work and effort put into this wonderful spa.
Back in Australia visiting our daughter who is studying at NSW, catching up with friends we have made over the years and of course, going to soccer games as we timed our visit to coincide with the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining caches for us to find while we are here.

A friend was having a surprise milestone birthday party and a trip to Brisbane was required to attend.
After accidentally (on purpose), booking my flights a few days earlier, it was time to do some pre party caching around town.
After a late night last night, today was a little more laid back exploring some targeted caches around Brisbane and beyond.
Wow! This is one cool cache. I arrived at GZ and obtained the necessary access information required. It was then that I opened the large cache and the excellent contents was revealed. What a great job! No wonder this one has so many favourites (of which mine will also be added).
I spent some time logging some of the trackables and grabbed a couple to take on my journey back home. The dogs nearby were looking for some attention so it presence didn’t help to keep them quiet .
Thanks Peppa for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

My first cache like this, so a hint from RoddieC helped me get in. I'm off to Europe soon, so took a few TBs to join me on my journey. But this was the most luxurious hotel, much better than the 4 star one I am paying $$$$ for in Brisbane tonight!
I had been told to visit this cache so today we did. I had done one of this type in Lismore. I had a few problems and did not want to leave without a visit. Thanks to my geocaching friends I managed a visit. I didn't get time to note numbers of TB's but loved your setup. Only took piccys. Signed the log and returned to where I found it. Stamped my book with the stamp. Thanks Peppa. All good with this cache. A favourite for this one too.
Finally made a visit to this amazing cache. Could have stood there for ages looking through the trackables but the dogs weren’t happy we were there!
Dropped off a couple of TBs for some spa treatments. Taken a few to go travelling with us today.

I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to be a TB before, but this luxurious spa certainly had me considering getting myself a TB tattoo and checking in for a bit of pampering! Another spectacularly crafted and maintained cache, with wonderfully looked-after travel bugs in their own little private rooms, clearly luxuriating in the care provided by the management. Five stars! TFTC, Peppa. =^.^=
Wow! This is next level! I used to live next to an alley like this and I was thinking of a similar idea for a cache, but the better half wasn't interested. My cache effort wouldn't have been anywhere near as grand as this though.
I love trackables and I love a good TB Hotel. I've seen a few good ones and some of those rival this for the quality of the hotel. But not only is the hotel next level, the love and care for the trackables is beyond next level. There are two great frustrations for us trackables lovers: 1) trackables that are listed in a cache aren't there, 2) it's hard to know where trackables want to go without looking them up there-and-then (which sucks on the Geocaching app). This TB hotel maintains a very accurate guest list. It's great!
And if the hotel wasn't good enough already, the method needed for getting the lock combo was awesome!
I had to hold myself back from taking too many trackables. I'm heading on a trip soon, so collecting a few for travel. I could have grabbed them all.... but can't be too greedy. Is 6 too many?!? For any other cache it would be, but this one felt like it was OK. I did have one visitor to drop off though. She's in need of a Spa & Health retreat

This has to be the most amazing cache I have seen so far!
I didn't take a trackable today as I already have some to move along. But I know where I'll come back to when I want to grab one. There looks to be sone with fascinating histories in there.

Such a colourful and creative day spa! Loved seeing the little tags on the residents. Shows it’s well loved. Didn’t move any along today. I’ve been guilty recently of some for a little too long in my car so didn’t want to do that again!
Hint had me thinking for a bit. Finally twigged what to look for but not before trying a few false starts.

We are travelling on the Big Island and were planning to come to Brisbane to see grand sons.
After attending two events in Tasmania where the CO was present we discussed this cache and a second one
We had all intentions to visit these two caches and we are glad we did. They without doubt have to be two of if not the best designed caches we have visited. They are truly awesome.

Our son has recently bought a house at Rocklea and moved out. However, like all young people he just expects he can leave half his sh*t at our place rent free. A mission was then planned to cache close by so we could drop off a bundle of said sh*t on the way.
Knowing we were coming to visit he called us at 6am to see what we were doing. What we were doing at that point was sleeping. I suppose we could have been up at an Anzac Day dawn service but I already support our veterans by drinking beer at the local RSL 3 or 4 times a week. He told us he was keen to tag along for the morning.
The was our first stop of the day and our son who is an electrician, was just about to call the union for an illegal installation. Trust a sparky to take the fun out of things. The only people with a smaller sense of humour are dentists.
I didn’t quite know what to do so I was busy clicking on the rainbow. That was when our son told us it wasn’t a rainbow and I had already half decorated my float for the Mardi Gras. Normally I’m a little bit tight-arsed when it comes to giving out favourite points but the aliens visited and extracted one with an anal probe (which isn’t as bad as it sounds). tftc

I have a few days in Brisbane after attending the Rutherglen Mega. This cache came highly recommended by joojoo57. What a fantastic cache It has it all - large size, easy to find, well maintained, full sized logbook, loads of trackables, unusual attributes. This gets a well deserved favourite point
I left a new Norfolk Island flag trackable that wants to places, and picked up a geocoin that I will place into a cache on Norfolk Island when I get home.

Wow.what a great cache..never seen one so well set out. Thanks for bringing us here.. A favourite point for us.
I visited the Health Retreat with Davinells, to pick up some TBs and move them on, to Tasmania in my case.
This was done under the watchful eye of the geoConcierge who was conducting a little CITO nearby.
I shall move them on shortly.
As an aside, I recently enjoyed accommodation in a nearby pool spa - and greatly enjoyed the company, hospitality, and the pool!

Wow! Definite favourite point from me. It was a pleasure to meet you, Peppa, at the event last week (Annerley). I’m so glad that BrissyCat and you both urged me to go visit the day spa. Pity it is only for TBs and not humans!
Each geocacher seems to have their own “thing/s” they love about caching whether it be completing the D/T grid or only looking for old caches. One of my things is trackables. So this cache is right up my alley (or pedestrian easement, LOL). I would have LOVED to stand there and take photos of all the trackables so I could discover them but alas, I was time poor (hubby was cooking & I was already late for dinner!). However, I have taken a few of the trackables. Hopefully I can find a cache or two for them to make their next stopover - perhaps at Mt Tamborine, as we’re planning to go there next weekend.
Oh, and now I want a TB Hotel at my place now! Although, unfortunately, I’m on the corner of a main road so it would mean the visitors would need to be super muggle aware and use maximum stealth. Any ideas? I can tell my neighbours not to stress if they see anyone though.

Back in Brisbane for awhile to visit friends and family so a good excuse to pick up some extra caches. Thank you peppa for an awesome cache, even if I got stumped on the puzzle. It is quite an impressive day spa with many happy patrons I think this might be my last in Brisbane for awhile so TFTC!
This is my 500th find! (400th cache)
I knew this milestone was coming up and was thinking about which cache to make it. Having done a similar Peppa cache recently, I knew this was going to be a good one, and it didn’t disappoint. It’s a beautiful work of art! Well done, and thank you for the creative contribution you make to geocaching in Brisbane.

We were here - Joodie & Joodax
after work walk, wine and relax!
Peppa Thanks for the cache and yellow dandelion.
Today was marked by a move from the Gold Coast to Hervey Bay to Frazer Island. Joodie has developed a terrible cold from the air conditioning, so a visit to the pharmacy first. It's different in Australia than in the Czech Republic, so there are a lot of strong drugs and preparations available without a medical prescription and Joodie got one of those .
On the way, we ended up meeting a hotelier, Peppa, who invited us to visit his resort. . We have to share here that Pepa is a colloquial name for Josef in the Czech Republic and is absolutely the most widespread. So when Peppa was introduced to us at the event, he suddenly became our biggest favourite.
The resort literally grounded us with its architecture. When we saw the number of comfortable rooms for guests and guests, so many that we have never actually seen them together in one hotel. Exclusive experience and exclusive work by Peppo. Hats off.
Joodie has sorted out the rooms nicely so I'm worried we'll even get on the plane due to the extra weight of our luggage. We will transport all the pieces to Europe and put them into circulation to explore new destinations there. .
The experience was all the greater because we met the owner on the way out and were able to hand over personal collectibles. We wish Peppa nothing but nice cashes on his travels.
Of course, FitiPaldi should be allocated for this very exceptional case ️️️.

Dnešní den byl ve znamení přesunu z Gold Coast do Hervey Bay k ostrovu Frazer. Joodie se spustila děsná rýma z klimatizace, takže napřed návštěva lékárny. V Austrálii je to jinak jako v Česku, takže je dostupné množství silných léků a přípravků bez lékařského receptu a jeden takový si Joodie zaopatřila .
Cestou jsme se nakonec stavili k jednomu hoteliérovi Peppovi, který nás lákal na návštěvu svého resortu. . Musíme se tady na místě podělit, že Pepa je v České republice hovorové jméno pro Josef a je absolutně nejrozšířenější. Takže když se nám Peppa na eventu představil, rázem se z něj stal náš největší oblíbenec.
Resort nás doslova uzemnil svou architekturou. Když jsme viděli množství komfortních pokojů pro hosty a hostů tolik, že jsme jich vlastně nikdy pohromadě ani v jednom hotelu neviděli. Exluzivní zážitek a exluzivní práce Peppo. Klobouk dolů.
Joodie pokoje pěkně probrala, takže mám obavy, abychom se vůbec kvůli nadváze zavazadel dostali do letadla. Pěkně všechny kousky přepravíme do Evropy a tam dáme do oběhu poznávat nové destinace. .
Zážitek byl o to větší, že jsme ownera potkali na výjezdu a mohli jsme si předat ještě osobní sběratelské předměty. Přejeme Peppovi jen samé pěkné keše na jeho cestách.
Samozřejmě, že pro tento zcela výjimečný případ je třeba přidělit FitiPaldi ️️️.

From Czechia with love!
I was so pleased to see my coin had made it way back out into the wild and then found its way to the Day Spa after it long excursion in the wild. Decided I might pick it up and bring it home to catch up with the rest of the GeoCoin family for bit. Thank you for looking after my coin during its stay at the Health Retreat.
I was in the area tree fishing, so decided to drop by here to swap a couple of larger TBs for smaller ones (as I’m travelling soon) and discover what was here. Nice to visit again and a quick open this time - easy when you know how .
The youngest and I were out and about this afternoon, and after finding a trackable in a newly listed adventure lab bonus cache, we decided to make a visit to the Trackable Hotel and Day Spa.
We were aware of this cache’s existence following a two night stay that one of our trackables had mid last year. From all reports the services provided were without equal. I'm sure a return visit is already in the planning.
We arrived at a logical place to start our short walk and there was plenty of parking available.
I was initially unsure how to gain access to the cache, but the second thing I tried I spotted something undeniably cache associated. That’s brilliant. That’s also a new attribute for my collection thanks.
We signed the log book and took some photographs and noted some of the trackable codes for Discovering. A great find here.
Thanks very much for the cache Peppa. A favourite point for the sprucing that you give to the trackables in the field. Cheers

What a beautiful retreat for some tired TB’s in need of some rest & relaxation. I was disappointed that I couldn’t be fitted in for some R&R of my own. The facilities provided definitely deserve a fav! TFTLB
Last find for the day. What a great cache container. Easily worked out how to get the code as have seen another like it. Names in log. TNLN. Tftc
Last cache on this very hot morning and what a container to finish on. Arrived at GZ, gleaned the important info while sitting in the car and enjoying the aircon, then moved in to GZ to reveal nothing short of a spectacular cache. Bravo...
As NurseyJulie and I exited the car, a resident tried to subdue the hound and I apologised for disturbing them. [^] Quickly to GZ, entrance to the cache permitted...wow...the spa is quite the place to hang out it seems.
NurseyJulie and I enjoyed our visit, we left a little something in the log (just our names, no need to worry) and closed the door as we left. Sadly, only a couple of days out from an around the country work trip, I neglected to pick up some trackables to take with me...
I see 77 found logs as I add mine today. Only 75 favourite points on the cache from those 77 logs... WHAT...
Thanks for a great cache Peppa. An absolute favourite from me.

Travelling with low1 on her mission to drop your keys back to you. had to check out all the TB's swanning around the spa. Even caught up with an old friend who went missing for a year only to find that low1 had picked him up and forgotten to log the retrieve. all good safe and sound and back travelling the world.
Visited and dropped of your keys TB from Cairns, and dropped off TB43A42K cancer 1. Picked up TB CPG0QT Police 1
The effort that went into this cache is amazing. Thank you for the challenge however without the help of the owns mate we would have never found the answer.
Very tricky.
Very tricky.
We had heard about this marvellous institution and finally made our way here to pay a visit today. What a fabulous piece of art and so well put together, right down to the access code retrieval method. The ants were impressed as well and look to be taking up residence in the retreat. If it were larger, I’d be inclined to take up residence myself! Thanks Peppa
Very impressive, even the ants think so as they were trying to set up home here. The Dog greeted us enthusiastically so we left quickly so she could get back to her usual routine. TFTC
Grumpy green hasn’t cached in a bit. Townsville Mob are stalkers & have noticed this. Always on my back and don’t live there anymore … pests . I have been such a busy one with my new promotional position.
Was in TownBane for work and as the traffic was heredonous I decided to pop over to this one where i have been wanting to visit again since my first try in May.
Thanks CO (and no thanks to BenM70 for the help on this one).
Getting inside this contraption and then seeing what was inside was 100/10. Amazing craftsman’s ship. Enjoyed looking at all of the little trackables and even scanned a few. Looks like the CO has been very busy bee since QOGM.
Happy to be a sheep with one and give a FP. Well deserved.
I hope to see you around some time soon Peppa (not the pig but the fast driver).
Thank you Peppa for placing this cache for me to enjoy!

One more for Eskies5 and I before heading towards home. This was a great cache to stop off at. Very creative. TFTC
Kestal & I were down from Toowoomba today for two reasons...a wherigo in October and International Earthcache Day. Due to a major fail at our first target we were left a little frustrated at the amount of time eaten up. Finally obtaining what we came for we made a call to head home. This was on the list and I was really intrigued by the cache description and was keen to find it due to all the fave points and it was on the way home. Of course the drizzle had started at the last cache and continued as we arrived here. We had an idea of what may be needed to bypass security and a quick check revealed we were on the money. Upon opening the drabness of the day was transformed like the dispersion of light through a prism! Loved everything about this. So good to end the day on a high...another fave pt for your tally. TFTC Peppa
This is very clever. Had trouble getting the code but then tealised that I needed to turn my tott sideways. Took some trackables to move on. We had a muggle standing behind us and riding up and down the lane. He didn't talk just stared and the said his phone didn't work and wanted directions, all a bit suss. A lot of work has gone into this cache.
Wow this cache is just the best cache ever. I actually came to find it because i needed it to complete a challenge by orange crew requiring front yard attribute and this was the last one i needed to qualify. I wondered what i needed to do to open the cache and i soon figured out what to do but i just could not get all the info and it took me a bit to figure how to get it all. Then wow when i opened the cache i took my time to look around and took some photos. I have taken sleemy sloth to move along . Thank you for all the effort you have put in to putting this cache together. Will give it a FP when i have one to give.
