Hi,
Opunake is a nice place but Manaia is probably not a place you will want to settle in or to have your first house.
Why don't you come to New Plymouth - offically the best small city in the world!

What do you think about the travel time? - too far? or not!

"Opunake boasts the best beach in the westland, Where the mountain meets the sea"
Opunake is a beautiful part of Taranaki it's not that far for the odd shopping trip, they have superb beach there and the carnivals are fabs... I would personally say it takes a good 45 mins to travel from NP...
I have a friend that works for Yarrows in Manaia, and they live here in NP but an hours drive a day with minimal traffic, through stunning countryside far outways an hours drive down crammed motorways anyday...
Hope it's good news on the job front!!!!

We have relatives in New Plymouth but the job I have applied for is in Opunake - i probably think that New Plymouth would be too far to travel every day - but I must admit I am tempted with new Plymouth - but then agian I need to get the job first.
