JR’s Hut
Nangus
JR’s Hut A-frame is perhaps the most audacious of our discoveries—and easily one of the best Airbnbs in New South Wales—an architectural marvel that seems to have grown directly from the NSW farmland. Constructed from local timber, steel, and galvanised iron, it’s a testament to rural ingenuity. Those 360-degree views aren’t just a selling point; they’re an invitation to lose yourself in the vastness of the Australian landscape.
