October is Small Business Month! And to celebrate, we’re highlighting some of the great small businesses we have throughout the region.
Today we have three of our region’s best businesses – the best place to get a caravan or trailer, the best little retreat in the region, and the best pies you’ll ever eat.
Tow World
If it tows – you’ll find it at Tow World.
2/61 Barnes Street, Tow World, NSW 2340
For all things towing, Tow World Tamworth is your one-stop destination. Proudly family-owned and operated by Troy and Gayle Black since 2023, Tow World has quickly re-established itself as a trusted local name for caravans, trailers, and towing accessories. Based in Tamworth, the team is dedicated to delivering quality products, reliable service, and genuine customer care for every traveller and tradesperson.
Tow World offers an extensive range of trailers and caravans to suit every lifestyle – from heavy-duty work trailers to family adventure setups. Customers can also find a wide variety of spare parts, towing equipment, and accessories, along with expert repairs and maintenance to keep vehicles safe and road-ready.
As an authorised Kayo Bikes dealership, Tow World brings even more excitement to the road, offering sales and servicing for Kayo’s quality range of motorcycles. Whether you’re gearing up for your next camping trip, upgrading your trailer, or looking for expert towing advice, Tow World Tamworth has everything you need – ready to help you hitch up and head out with confidence.
Head to the new show room at 2/61 Barnes Street for their massive yard sale from November 7 to 9!
Ben’s Falls Retreat
Where every stay is built by hand and heart.
254 Morgans Rd. Emmaville, NSW 2371
Perched high above the Severn River near Emmaville, Ben’s Falls Retreat offers a rare blend of rustic charm, heartfelt hospitality, and breathtaking natural beauty. Family-run and lovingly handcrafted over decades, the retreat features boutique off-grid accommodation and a stunning cliff-top function venue designed for weddings, private events, and creative retreats.
Every part of Ben’s Falls Retreat tells a story. Originally built by Allan Taylor in 1996 and named in honour of his late son Ben, the property has grown into a place of connection, healing, and celebration. Today, Allan’s daughter, Allana Price, leads the retreat with her husband and children, continuing the family’s vision of creating experiences that truly mean something.
From themed dining nights to weekend wellness escapes, Ben’s Falls Retreat welcomes guests to slow down and savour the landscape – waterfalls, cliffs, and wildlife all at your doorstep. With only one booking at a time, guests enjoy the entire property to themselves, along with handcrafted menus, genuine service, and a sense of peace that can only be found where nature and care come together.
Sweetie Pie’s Bake Shop
Fresh is best – and made with heart at Sweetie Pie’s Bake Shop.
45 Walter Street, Glen Innes, NSW 2370
Across from Glen Innes High School, Sweetie Pie’s Bake Shop has become a local favourite for one simple reason: everything is made from scratch. Owned and operated by Nicole and Zaylie Hyde, this small but mighty bake shop serves up over 30 flavours of award-winning pies, each lovingly crafted with homemade stock and pastry prepared by hand.
At Sweetie Pie’s, the saying “Fresh is best” isn’t just a motto – it’s the heart of everything they do. While many bakeries choose shortcuts, Nicole and her talented all-female team, including pastry chef Tala and friendly staff Katie, Talia, and Amber, keep things traditional, ensuring every pie that leaves the oven is golden, flaky, and full of flavour.
From savoury classics to creative new favourites, each pie tells a story of craftsmanship, care, and community. Whether you’re grabbing lunch on the go or taking a box home for the family, Sweetie Pie’s Bake Shop offers the kind of homemade comfort you can taste in every bite.
Throughout October, we’ll run stories highlighting the great local businesses we have right here in our communities. This is a free service – the businesses highlighted have not paid for this story.
