Welcome to Napier Hill - overlooking Hawkes Bay, the Port of Napier, and the Pacific Ocean. Come to the highest point of Napier (Bluff) Hill, walk down to the ocean end of Thompson Road and find the cache.
Cache is just a meter or two inside private property, but everyone in the neighbourhood is happy to see geocachers!
The cache is on private property, but the neighbours are geocaching aware, and friendly. Posh, the Great Dane, may bark next door (a big single bark), but is harmless.
The cache is not far in on the private property, so don't be afraid to feret around the car pad area.
You are welcome to sit on the steps leading down to the garden and enjoy the cache, and afterwards take a walk around the garden, admire the views to the ocean and port, and in the summer time, relax in the hammock....
