Hi Papu
Sorry I dont get around to looking online so much nowadays, but yes we moved here to New Plymouth last July and have to say are really happy here! No it's not the biggest town in the world, but it is a really nice one and a very friendly place, I am still amazed at how quickly we felt at home here. Friendly people, good schools, beautiful scenery all around, lots to do in summer and winter for a smaller place, weather wise was a great summer, very hot and sunny throughout, infact Taranaki got declared a drought area in the end, not so good for those pooir farmers though, winter on the way, we have snow on the mountain now which is a good sign hehe. House prices not to bad I dont think.
As for being a stay at home dad you will be fine, I've seena few around at school and don't think anyone has an issue, at the school my son goes to the mums took me under there wing straight away and looked after me, inviting us round for dinner/drinks etc, infact 2 of those mums are now my best friends and are just amazing, we have had lots of bad luck lately with things going wrong, car, in the house etc and they have been there for us constantly to help out.
If you have any specific questions just post away here or send me a PM, I will try and check back a bit more often :)
Ali
