Hi Colin
We moved to New Plymouth in North Taranaki in July which we absolutely love, and love the area, not had too much experience of Hawera so far but have not heard anything negative about it, from what I gather after NP it is the next biggest town in Taranaki and is handy for everywhere else, off course pretty much everywhere in Taranaki is dominated by the mountain which is just beautiful, I dont even see myself tiring of looking at it, I can just gaze at it in awe hehe. House prices are pretty reasonable from what ive seen in the
taranaki daily news.
Anyhow sorry i cant help much more than that but at least I havent heard anything bad about it hehe :) We have some friends who live in Stratford which is near Hawera than NP and they love it there.
