Petone's a nice place....... one of the older areas of the Hutt Valley. If you're living on the shoreline be prepared for a few gusty southerlies straight up from Antarctica across the harbour. Korokoro, up the hill or Maungarakei you'd get great views and still be within striking distance of the shops either in Lower Hutt or Petone. There's a bit of a down turn in the real estate market at the moment, but that could mean its to the buyer or renter's advantage.

Here's a few photos of the area....
