Renwick is a small town in Marlborough. It is in the heart of the Wairau Valley wine growing district and could be an alternative to Blenheim as a base from which to explore the region. The small town's motto is "The heart of the wine country" and this is evident by the surrounding land being nearly entirely vineyards.
Renwick is at the intersection between State Highway 6 and 63. Blenheim is 10 minutes east on State Highway 6, passing Blenheim Airport at Woodbourne. Havelock is 20 minutes north again on State Highway 6. Traveling to the West Coast on State Highway 63 will take travelers past St Arnaud (1 hour).
All buses and shuttles traveling Picton - Blenheim - Havelock - Nelson return travel through Renwick. Nelson Lakes Shuttles specialise in providing transport for trampers, hikers, climbers, mountain bikers and skiers. They run on demand and scheduled services to St Arnaud down State Highway 63, Nelson Lakes National Park, Kahurangi National Park, the Richmond Ranges as well as other tramping destinations further afield.
Renwick is 3 minutes from Blenheim Airport.
Renwick is accessible by foot. There is no local bus. For those without access to a car or a bicycle, taxis or tours are the only option
Most accommodation will have some form of internet access. Internet cafes can be found in Blenheim. There is a post shop in the High St.
