About this property

Luxury accommodation - King size beds - stunning views - 5mins to Oberon

Welcome to Hickory Moon. This is not shared accommodation and we only allow one booking at a time. Whilst we do have a minimum 2 night stay there are times we can accommodate a single night stay. Please message me for availability of single night stays.

Prices start from $270 per couple. Hickory Moon is the perfect spot for a luxurious romantic stay. With two luxurious bedrooms the house comfortably accommodates 4 adults.

If you are looking for peace and quiet and a great getaway spot to enjoy with family or friends Congratulations….you have found it at Hickory Moon.

The kitchen is fully equipped with brand new quality cookware and utensils, wine glasses, crockery, cutlery and basics such as olive oil, salt and pepper, coffee, tea and sugar,
There are two smart TVs. One in the open plan living area and one in the Eastern bedroom.
All linen (bedding, doonas, towels and tea towels) is supplied.
There are two bedrooms, both with king size beds and cast-iron baths situated to take advantage of the spectacular views. Both bedrooms have their own en-suite and the Eastern bedroom has the extra luxury of a double shower.
There is a third bathroom for use by daytime visitors.
The house does not have any steps.
We have a fully equipped laundry with a washing machine, dryer and a clothesline.
There is an outdoor BBQ area and this too, is situated facing the breathtaking views to the north.
The bedrooms and the living room all face north and the huge glass windows in each room means guests never miss an opportunity to gaze at the mesmerizing and picturesque views.

In the living room you can sink into the soft and luxurious leather lounge or get cosy on one of the two large snuggle chairs. Settle in at night with a wine, turn all the lights off and gaze at the twinkling lights of Bathurst to the West. Take full advantage of the lack of light pollution and look up and marvel at the Milky Way. There are books in the bookcase that are now looking for new homes so pick one up and wander outside to one of the Adirondack chairs and settle in for a relaxing read.

If the winter snow hits and you can’t get outside there are board games to play.
We have everything you need to enjoy your stay including, as one guest commented ‘the freshest air in Australia”.



Hickory Moon was constructed during 2018 and is located 1175m above sea level which means in winter we get snow. Sometimes we get falls so heavy the roads will not be trafficable and you may have to stay an extra night/s. If this does happen, we will not charge you for the extra night/s. It is not common to be ‘snowed in’ for more than a day or so.

The Oberon area boasts many attractions including Jenolan Caves, Kanangra Walls, and Mayfield garden it…even if you are not into gardening Mayfield is not to be missed! There are plenty of lovely tourist drives to take and villages including Rockley, Tarana and O’Connell, with excellent pubs for lunch or dinner. Further afield you have Leura and Katoomba an hour to the East, Lithgow and Bathurst just 45 minutes away. Taralga to the South and Orange and Millthorpe to the West, are great to visit for a day trip.
There are a variety of dining options from the café at Mayfield, the two local pubs, the RSL club, an excellent Chinese restaurant and various other local eateries in Oberon. The two supermarkets in Oberon are well equipped if you want supplies to cook your own feast at Hickory Moon.



Guests have exclusive use of the house, however use of the bedrooms and en-suites is restricted depending on the number of beds you require.
To ensure the correct amount is charged,we request that you make your booking based on the number of beds you require. Please apply the following booking procedure when making your booking, regardless of actual guest numbers:
If you need 1 bedroom/en-suite – book for 2 guests
If you need 2 bedrooms/en-suites – book for 4 guests

When making your booking you can include in your message the actual number of guests staying.

If you are unsure of how to book please message me for advice.
Sorry to throw that stuff at you to start with but now it is out of the way, let us have a read of why Hickory Moon is the perfect spot for your getaway.

One of the Best
The property is immaculate, the presentation and the photos simply do not do the property justice. The location is ideal, close enough but far enough from the township and the peace and relaxation for a stay at Hickory Moon exceeded our expectations. Hands down the best property we have stayed at!

Stunning views.
Hickory Moon is a relaxing property in very good condition. The living area and two bedrooms are very spacious with walls of double glazed windows taking it the fantastic view. We ate at the pub one night and cooked the other. The kitchen is well equipped and the gas stove great to use.

It's all about that VIEW!
We actually gasped at the view as we walked inside for the first time with Maxine - it's just incredible; and we remained fixated on it for the whole weekend. The house is really private & incredibly comfy - loved the snuggle chairs in the sun, slept really well, loved the double shower & having a bath looking out at the night sky The kitchen has everything you need to cook for yourselves We saw a pair of kangaroos out the back one morning & some black cockatoos greeted us as we arrived It's also close to some decent food (the Long Arm Farm cafe in Oberon & the Rockley Pub), Mayfield gardens, the pioneer rail trial (start from the end closest to the house) & we were lucky the Oberon farmer's market & the sheep dog trials in Tarana were on the weekend we were there. Highly recommended, and we'll be back!

Peaceful weekend only 5 mins outside of oberon
maxine (owner) was a great communicate and really helpful with arranging. We got beautiful snow which was pretty magical for two city sides. The place feels like a deluxe hotel but with so much privacy and yet close to oberon for any supplies. I thoroughly recommended maxines place and think youre getting the place for a steal!

A heavenly9 nights were spent here celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary. We had beautiful crisp sunny days, a day spent up in the moving cotton candy clouds, fabulous sunsets & sparkling Bathurst night lights. The views were picture perfect with endless wonderful cloud watching. We got SNOW! 4hrs of standing at the window like kids...even had a play outside in it! WOW what a place to share our love !

Awesome place for retreat
The house is pearched on a gentle hill and facing the north west. Able to see the sunset on the left and see the landscape change through the day. The house is new and well kept. The king bed is firm and has a pillow top which suits us well like what we have. Love to idle on the rotating round sofa. The owner, Maxine, is helpful with directions and is couple of minutes away. No worries if you need help. The house is well insulated and has external covered with colorbond. The occasion contraction of the colorbond gave a banging sound which initially worries a city dweller like us but it has gone unnoticed after a while. There is no wifi inhouse, but has good data internet connection...then again go cold turkey with the internet when you are out there. On the whole, we love the place as it is spacious and peaceful for get away from the city, and is not too far from the city.

About the host

Hosted by Maxine Whittaker

Host profile image
When our daughter decided to get married we searched for a nice place in the area for her guests to stay and for the newlyweds to spend their wedding night. We struggled to find exactly what we were after so we decided to build our own house. Our daughter was married in our garden just 20 metres from Hickory Moon. Unfortunalely Hickory Moon was not finished in time for her wedding, but it is finished now and we look forward to welcoming guests from all corners of the world to enjoy our beautiful house and the amazing scenery. It's big sky country up here and it is breathtaking.

Why they chose this property

We are located in a rural area yet we are just 5 minutes drive into Oberon. Hickory Moon is a peaceful place, you can do as little as you like and you may well find that you have lost an hour or two just looking at the view or watching the wedge-tailed eagles circling overhead. At night you can turn all the lights off and watch the twinkling lights of Bathurst in the distance or look upwards and marvel at the Milky Way. The house is totally private and designed to be your little piece of heaven.

What makes this property unique

Hickory Moon is built with an industrial vibe. We had to have a beam across the roof to comply with snow loading and on closer inspection the Council decided we needed two beams instead of one. So we made the second beam a bit of a feature however we do hope it does not detract from the view.
