Bunk beds

If you’ll be making use of our bunk beds, you’ll need to bring your own bedding or sleeping bag. 

Outside:

In the storage bin, you’ll find a BBQ and BBQ stand. 

Additional Offerings:
– Select kitchenware
– Select bedding

We have replacement kitchenware and bedding. Stayover service is not provided but new bedding can be provided upon request for stays longer than 4 days.

The fireplace:
Get cozy! You’ll find the buttons for operating the fireplace on the top right. From left to right, the buttons are: 

• Power – To turn the fireplace on or off
• Flame – This setting is for when you want ambiance but not heat. Select one of nine brightness levels. You can also change the colour of the flame (yellow to red, red to blue, or blue to white) by holding down the flame button for 3 second
• Heat – Press once for low heat setting (750W) and twice for high heat (1,500W)
• Temperature – Press this button repeatedly to set heat between 62 and 82 degrees fahrenheit (16-28 degrees celsius)
• Timer – To automatically turn off the fireplace after a designated period of time. Press the button to cycle through your options

Hot tip (get it?): if the fireplace won’t turn on, check the switch on the main door, which toggles between fireplace and microwave. Only one of these can be used at a time. The fireplace will only work when the switch is turned to—you guessed it—fireplace

Stereo System:

If you find that the exterior speakers aren’t working, that’s because…they’ve been disabled. Surf Grove is a neighbourly place, and good neighbours don’t subject others to their musical preferences

The internal speakers are yours to enjoy, though. Select a source from AM/FM, USB or Bluetooth. Press “source” once or more to select HDMI, AUX or AV mode

Bluetooth password is: 0000

Wall-Mounted Thermostat:

The thermostat, which you’ll find on the wall to the right of fireplace, controls the furnace. Move the dial from left to right to turn up the heat

Toilet:

Probably pretty self-explanatory, but in case it isn’t… to flush, use the foot pedal. To fill the toilet bowl with water (about halfway), depress the foot lever slightly, then open

Only the RV-friendly toilet paper we supply should be flushed. It is important that you do not flush wet wipes, feminine hygiene products or anything else

Stove & Oven: 

We wouldn’t blame you if you never touched these, and cooked every meal outside, but if you do find yourself needing to use the interior oven and stove, here’s how

Stove

Please turn on the overhead exhaust fan

Always turn the selected burner to low first, then turn the ‘flame’ knob to ignite

Oven

1. Turn knob to pilot and press down
2. While keeping the ‘pilot’ knob depressed, turn the ‘flame’ knob to ignite
3. Wait a couple of seconds for it to ignite before turning the temperature knob to your desired temperature

Please note that the oven has only one rack and the height can’t be adjusted

Fires 

In case of a grease fire inside the RV:

• Smother the flame with a lid or pan to cut off oxygen supply 
• If stove or oven is on, turn them off immediately 
• If needed, use the supplied fire extinguisher, which can be found beside the front door
• DO NOT try to use water to extinguish the flames

In case of a grease fire outside the RV: 

• “Smother” flame with lid/pan
• if stove/oven is on, turn off flame/burner
• If needed, use the supplied fire extinguisher
• DO NOT try to use water to extinguish flames

Other fires (not caused by grease or oil):

• Try to extinguish the flames with water
• If needed, use the supplied fire extinguisher

In case of any fire, contact the Surf Grove team immediately.

Tsunami

Our tsunami evacuation plan is aligned with the District Of Tofino’s requirements for safety.

Any information on tsunami preparedness can be found here

The likelihood of a tsunami during your stay is extremely unlikely, however it is best practice to make yourself aware of the required course of action should this type of emergency occur.

Should a Tsunami Alert take place during your stay, please remain calm, grab only what you need, and proceed to the Tofino Community Centre. Please follow this link to see the Tofino Evacuation Map

The District Of Tofino tests the tsunami siren on the first Friday of the month. If you hear a chime sound coming from the siren at Cox Bay at this time please do not panic.

To see additional resources on Tsunami alerts, preparedness, and general information please visit the National Tsunami Warning Centre.
