Located near Gundaroo on the Southern Tablelands of NSW, The Barn at Nguurruu is a luxury two-bedroom Airbnb in the middle of a working cattle farm.

Explaining the name, the hosts say 'Nguurruu' is the Ngunnawal word for 'camp' which was chosen by an indigenous elder "out of respect for the many bush camps that have existed on the banks of the Yass River down through the ages".

The barn is fitted out with a full kitchen, breakfast provisions, a wood heater, outdoor fire pit and direct access to a heated swimming pool.
