Your arrival at Colonial Inn
🕒 Check-in is from . Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Tamworth Railway Station (1 mile east of centre) → Tamworth Towers
💡 The train doesn't go direct from the airport. Use this only if you're arriving from another town—then grab a taxi from the station to the hotel. The station has a small waiting room but no 24-hour staff.
Tamworth Regional Airport → Quality Hotel Powerhouse
💡 Demand surges at peak flight arrivals; pre-book or use the taxi rank instead.
Tamworth Airport (TMW) → Tamworth Towers
💡 Uber exists in Tamworth but drivers aren't reliable, especially during country events (like the Country Music Festival). Always have a backup taxi number saved—I'd recommend Tamworth Taxis on 02 6766 1155.
Tamworth Railway Station (also local transit hub) → Motabelle Motel (Bridge St stop)
💡 If arriving by train, get off at Tamworth Station and catch Route 1 eastbound from the front. The Motabelle is the second stop. No Sunday service – get a taxi then.
Tamworth Regional Airport → Quality Hotel Powerhouse (Cnr Kable Ave & Marius St)
💡 Call ahead on 6755 1111 to arrange pickup; they’ll wait if flight’s delayed.
Tamworth Airport → McNevin's Motel
💡 Book at least 24 hours ahead via motel reception – they use a local operator specialising in regional airport runs. Shared if others on same flight; still faster than bus.
Tamworth Airport (TMW) → Motabelle Motel
💡 Uber is usually cheaper than taxis, but surge pricing hits during events (e.g., Country Music Festival). Check both apps before booking.
Tamworth Airport (TMW) → Tamworth Towers
💡 Book ahead if your flight lands late; taxis can be scarce after 9pm. Confirm the fare before starting—most drivers are honest, but flat rates aren't always advertised.
Tamworth Airport → McNevin's Motel
💡 Check both apps: Uber and Didi compete here. Wait times can hit 20 mins off-peak. Tipping in cash helps drivers – rural regions prefer it over app tips.
Tamworth Airport (TMW) → Motabelle Motel
💡 Call ahead or use the TamWorth Taxis app to pre-book; drivers will meet you at arrivals if you arrange it.
Tamworth Regional Airport (bus stop on Goonoo Goonoo Rd) → Peel St, near Quality Hotel Powerhouse
💡 Get a Tap & Ride card from the newsagent in the terminal; saves fumbling for coins.
Tamworth CBD (Peel St, near hotel) → Local attractions (e.g., Tamworth Regional Entertainment Centre)
💡 Bus drivers know the shortcuts—ask them for the best stop for Big Golden Guitar.
