We stayed in Pod 6 which was very spacious and had absolutely everything we needed. Comfortable bed, clever storage, great bathroom and a well stocked kitchen for basic cooking. Stunning location right by the beach so definitely head out for an evening walk to watch the sunset (you might see a seal or 2!). Pop on some repellent before you go as the mosquitoes and sand flies come out at dusk. Excellent spot to base yourself from for a couple of nights. Having never stayed in a shipping container before, we weren't sure what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised. Check in/check out was seamless and wifi was fairly decent. Highly recommend.
