Birdcage @ Byron Bay

This was my first experience staying in a caravan. I rented the "Huey" caravan. I really wanted to enjoy the experience, but was a little turned off by the lack of respect of the caravan from previous tenants. The renovations were obviously done some time ago, and numerous occupants have not cared about the property. The mesh screens have seen better days as they were peeling off the windows. This increased my fear of bugs attacking me at night time and we had to buy bug spray. There were ants everywhere. I know the site owners can't help this, they did leave any bait in the cupboard for occupants to use. We cleaned them up, but by the next morning they had started to make their way back inside. The aluminum blinds are all damaged. Especially the one by the bed. It was hanging by a thread. The bed sheets had a little bit of debris near the bottom which I am hoping is just from the wall chipping off when the bed was made. There was only a large singular pillow, which makes sleeping with 2 people rather difficult to share. The bed was actually extremely comfortable, especially with the fan on during the night. We had a portable stove and water to our caravan which made cooking and cleaning up pleasant. However, I expected that there might be a communal kitchen on site, but there wasn't. The hose to the caravan was leaking a lot too. Might need a new washer. There were a few strings of fairy lights around the caravan, but all of them had flat batteries. The ladies toilet was tidy, but the men's was a mess. There was puke on the footpath in the morning. Again I understand that the camp ground is not responsible for other campers behavior, but keep this in mind when booking.
