Tamworth: Small-town feel with major city perks
Whether you are a city slicker seeking a tree change, a growing family looking for more space, or an older couple ready to retire, Tamworth may just be the answer. Nestled in the heart of the NSW countryside, this thriving regional city is home to sprawling green fields, rolling hills, and wide open spaces that stretch as far as the eye can see.
Ticking all the boxes required to live a comfortable and fulfilling life, Tamworth offers every modern convenience, minus the high-rises and hubbub, from top-notch schools, hospitals, and sporting facilities, to charming cafes and boutique stores.
And it continues to evolve, with exciting plans penned for its future, like new residential and industrial subdivisions, and upcoming direct flights to Melbourne, in addition to its current daily flights to Sydney and Brisbane.

Glenda Douglas, agent at Ray White Tamworth, has been enjoying this rural recipe for over 43 years, happily enjoying a small-town feel with major city perks where her family has thrived. In fact, both of her children have gone on to represent their country in sports and have great jobs in Tamworth – one owns the local Crossfit gym and the other works as a supervisor at the Oncology Centre.
“We have a very forward-thinking council that has focused heavily on the future growth of our infrastructure, making our city appealing to people of all demographics,” Douglas says. “There are families who have lived here their entire lives, doctors who fly in and out for work who eventually buy locally, and young couples looking for a change of scenery, bringing their city jobs with them.”
“Having grown up in Tamworth, I can confidently say that it’s the local businesses and people who make it such a wonderful place to live,” says Eliza Fagan, co-owner of Designer Bunches, a florist in the heart of town. “I’m proud of how our community is diversifying, with many cultures now contributing to its fabric, yet never losing touch with its country hospitality.”
Eat & Drink
Be it your daily dose of caffeine, a weekend serving of smashed avocado on toast, or a reservation for a special occasion, Tamworth delivers on all fronts. Head to Camp Grounds cafe for excellent coffee and Sonny’s Bakery for delectable pastries, and if you want to try some of the best barbecue in town, go to The Pig & Tinder Box, housed in a heritage-listed former bank building. For something a little more fancy, take a trip to Goonoo Goonoo Station, home to the award-winning Glasshouse Restaurant, serving both hearty meals and sweeping views.

See & Do
While Tamworth is known as “the country music capital” of Australia, home to the Big Golden Guitar and host of the annual Country Music Festival, there’s much more to explore, beginning with its great outdoors. Hike or bike through the beautiful countryside or enjoy the peaceful pockets of Anzac Park and the Tamworth Botanic Gardens. If you’re up for a bit of a day adventure, drive south to Nundle to experience the magic of the Pine Forest or head north to Barraba to admire the murals of the Barraba Silo Art.
