The Oxley Highway · NSW

Wilderness stay on the Hastings.

3,000 acres of mountain, rainforest and river — bordering World Heritage national park, right on Australia's most famous touring road.

Why stay at Mount Seaview

On The Oxley

The legendary 163km Wauchope–Walcha run passes the front gate. The overnight stop riders and tourers actually need.

World Heritage

3,000 private acres of farmland and rainforest, wrapped by Oxley Wild Rivers National Park — waterfalls, gorges, dark skies.

River & wildlife

The Hastings River runs through it — platypus, swimming holes, kayaking, fishing, and 280+ bird species.

35 years of 4WD

Guided 4WD and quad tours into country you simply can't reach on your own. Half-day, full-day and groups.

Where you'll sleep

A room, a cabin, or a patch of grass.

From a bunk for the road-worn to a spa suite for two — plus powered sites for the van. Accommodation for every budget, right on the Oxley Highway, with a licensed bar and restaurant on site and a cooked breakfast before you head off.

For the riders

Stay the night on The Oxley.

You've earned the corners. Don't blast through in the dark — pull in, park the bike, and put your boots up by the fire. The only real overnight stop mid-road.

Book the overnighter

  • Secure, undercover bike parking

    Wheel it in, off the road and out of the weather.

  • A hearty cooked breakfast

    Fuel up properly before the run to Walcha or the coast.

  • Group & club rates

    Beds for the whole run — tell us the numbers and we'll sort it.

Out here, there's plenty to do

Or nothing at all.

Good to know

  • Phone signal: Optus 5G works on-site; other carriers are patchy — tell people before you disappear.
  • Food & drink: licensed restaurant, café and bar — cooked breakfasts, homestyle dinners.
  • Fuel: none on-site — fill up at Wauchope, Long Flat, Gingers Creek or Walcha.
  • Groups: conference room plus 26 motel and 24 lodge rooms — clubs, retreats and school programs welcome.

The bush, after dark

When the sun goes down, the show starts.

Out here there isn't a streetlight for a very long way. On a clear night the Milky Way rolls straight over the valley — the bright core, the dust lanes, the Southern Cross, satellites sliding through — no telescope required. Step outside, give your eyes a minute, look up.

And the bush doesn't clock off at dark. Mist sits on the river flats at dawn while 280-odd species of birds argue about sunrise. Platypus work the quiet pools at first and last light. Dusk turns the ranges every colour they own. City nights don't do any of this.
