Note that the container isn’t equipped with air-con, hot water or WiFi, though, for those who like the idea of getting back to basics, those are far from downsides.

Although Byron Bay is great to visit year-round, the best time to plan your trip is probably October. The weather is warm, but not too hot, and there are many fewer tourists around.
Events like the Byron Bay Film Festival are on, and the town has a lively but chilled atmosphere. With plenty of sunny days to spend at the beach, this is the perfect time for your getaway.
There is no shortage of fun things to do in Byron Bay. After a morning walk up to the lighthouse, grab a bite to eat in a local organic cafe (there are many great ones to choose from!). Take a dip in the ocean and stroll through some of the local shops. Drive to the Hinterland and grab some lunch at The Farm.
Spend the afternoon soaking up the sun at your hotel and then head to dinner at one of the bustling restaurants, but be sure to make a booking as these popular spots can book out…
