The kitchen is equipped with most dishes and cookware to prepare and serve meals for large groups such as; a medium-sized fridge/freezer unit, propane stove with oven, enough pots, pans, bakeware, dishes, serving dishes, cutlery, glasses, etc. to prepare and serve most meals for large groups. Basics like a coffee grinder, carafates, drip cones & filters are included. There is a BBQ if you like to cook outside.
This is an off-grid location and primarily powered by solar panels with a backup gas generator. There is usually enough electricity to charge cameras, phones, and laptops. High-draw electrical items with heating elements such as coffee makers, toasters, and hair dryers, cannot ever be used. We are not able to charge electric vehicles at this time.
Hot water is provided via on-demand propane heaters. We are committed to being part of the global effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Please help us by minimizing hot water use.
Discovery Islands Lodge is in a remote location. Ambulance service is at least one hour away. A trip to the hospital may take several hours, especially at night, and stresses limited emergency services. Please use caution around the water, when walking on slippery decks, always use lights/flashlights at night, and avoid excessive use of alcohol.
Fire safety: We are located outside the Quadra Island fire protection area. We take fire prevention very seriously. Oven, cookstove, & BBQ’s should be monitored continuously when in use. Check that they are turned off when finished.
Your guide will review all the site amenities and functions upon arrival as well as provide reminders for safe use where necessary.
