Fishing:  If you catch fish or crabs, please clean them at the tables provided at the marina.  DO NOT bring them up to the cottage to clean.

Electric heat:  There is a thermostat controller in every room.  Please remember to turn the temperature down before you leave as heat is very expensive in BC.

Flashlights and batteries:  Are supplied as well as candles and matches which are available above the fridge or in the cutlery drawer in the kitchen.  Depending on the time of year, the power does go out in Port Renfrew.  

Manual - Welcome Book

A welcome book upon arrival provides all the information you need for WIFI, Netflix, barbeque, bluetooth, laundry, garbage disposal and local amenities in the area. 

If you are lucky to be in Renfrew during a storm and the power goes out, you will stay warm with our gas fireplace and be able to light the gas stovetop manually. We have candles and flashlights for your use. So just sit back and enjoy! 

If you have never experienced one, there is nothing quite like a West Coast Storm and the sound of the rain on a Tin Roof.
