Renwick
is the true heart of the Marlborough Wine Country. One of the finest
ways to truly enjoy the vineyards and the wineries of Marlborough is
to rent a bike and slowly make your way around from Renwick. The
perfect
way to travel and see this beautiful countryside.
We discovered the Olde Mill
B&B right in the middle of Renwick where Diane and Robert have
gone out
of their way to provide a fabulous place to hang out and also provide
top quality bikes to venture forth into the world of the grape.
If you stay at the Olde Mill House B&B you are given the
complimentary use of the bicycles by the way. Reason enough to stay
there.
The
B&B is only two blocks from the main part of the village and five
minutes from the airport. They will be glad to make airport
transfers. Not a bad weekend escape from the big
city if you ask me. A quiet friendly B&B hidden
away in the middle of the wine country. Can you picture it?
But wait there's more. They will also provide free
transport to the local vineyard restaurants for an evening meal.
You won't have to worry about how many glasses of wine you
consume. Now that's a real treat.
Paula and I stopped by and were shown
around the place. What a spot. It was built in 1929 as the home of the
owner of the old saw mill where the place gets its name. Want to see
some top wood work it's all over the house and beautifully restored.
Diane and Robert have spent a great
deal of time
making the grounds lush with a large verandah and an outdoor spa and
barbecue area. Talk about a place to relax and enjoy in the very middle
of the wine country. From here it is directly into the back roads to
visit as many vineyards as you want. We were told fifteen is the record
......on bikes! But saying that there are a lot real close so it's not
hard to take just a short ride and see as many as you like.
So if you are in the Marlborough Wine
Country or are planning to pass through don't hurry. Stop a day or two
and lay back in the outdoor spa, sipping on the best sauvignon blanc in
the world right here in Renwick at the Old Mille House B&B. Besides
after a day on the bike your legs may enjoy the soaking.
Anyhow how can you pass it up?
