Siblings Rowan and Stacey Ingpen and their step-father, Richard Marlow, moved to Renwick in January 2010, following the purchase of the well-established Woodbourne Tavern.

We were virtual strangers to Renwick, having visited the area only a handful of times before moving here, but since then we have become fully immersed in the village life of Renwick.

Our family moved from the Hawkes Bay where we all had very different career paths. The move has been fantastic and working together as a family has been a great challenge and privilege. Rowan a mechanic, Stacey a primary school teacher and Richard a farmer, have all enjoyed the changes in their professions.

The move to Renwick happened after a phone call out of the blue from a family friend who was also a hotel broker and knew we had been in the hospitality business before.

We have all enjoyed the lifestyle and laid back, relaxed atmosphere of Renwick and the loyal customers that support the Woodbourne Tavern.

Rowan is an active member of the Renwick Rugby Club and as captain of the reserves team, regularly makes the short walk up the road with team-mates to the pub after matches.

The family welcomes you to the Woodbourne Tavern and Motels and we look forward to your company.
