Watson's Way, run by Pat and Paul, is a clean, welcoming hostel in the little village of Renwick bang in the middle of Marlborough wine country.
Toast and jam is provided for breakfast, there's a nice lounge with a television. Bikes are available for hire ($10 if you're staying at the hostel) and Pat will offer tips for the best route around the wineries and which ones to visit for tastings.
On SH6/SH63. Blenheim is the nearest town.
It's just lovely here. They have useful things like free internet access which is very handy, and it's clean and everything's new which is always nice, but the reason I'm recommending it is the lovely calm atmosphere and the good people that tend to stay here. Anthony and Steph who run it are great and do a great job in making this a welcoming, friendly sunny place to stay.
