Tamworth Country Music – Accommodation

There is a common misconception that accommodation is hard to come by during the Tamworth Country Music Festival in January.

This is certainly NOT TRUE!

Motel accommodation can be difficult to find, but there is generally plenty of camping space and availabilities in home hosting, for example.

Following is a listing of accommodation options, starting with the alternatives... camping and home hosting accommodation providers, followed by hotels, motels, b&bs, etc.

This listing also includes some "nearby" localities. These are marked with an asterisk.

Also included at the bottom of this listing are links to tourism organisations in major towns within an hour or so of Tamworth and an easy drive.
