Second vote for Watson's in Renwick - stayed there a few months ago - brilliant- no reason to even look anywhere else.

I lived in Koanui hostel on Main Street for about 3 months. Reasonably cheap with both backpacker and slightly more upmarket options for a few dollars more, great place to meet people
