About this property

Nescio - A Unique Stay by the Water

  • Step aboard the Nescio!<br>A 100-year-old ship awaits you in a beautiful, central location in Friesland. The Nescio is fully equipped: a fully stocked kitchen (including a Quooker and dishwasher), a bath-shower combo, a corner sofa, and, of course, plenty of authentic details. Imagine yourself as the captain in the wheelhouse while you enjoy the stunning views and this unique ship with a rich history.<br><br>The space<br>A ship steeped in history—and now you can stay on it. Inside, there’s headroom (190 cm), and the ship is fully equipped: a little house on the water. Cooking is done using gas (inspected annually). A refrigerator, Quooker, and even a dishwasher are provided. Plates, pans, cutlery, glasses, coffee, tea, and spices are also included... you name it, the Nescio has it.<br><br>There’s a cosy and romantic double bed—also known as “the bunk” in nautical terms. The sofa can be converted into a sleeper sofa for two people. A cot can be set up in the workspace (a baby cot is provided; please bring your own linens for it).<br><br>Outdoor Living<br>The deck is a wonderful place to relax. On the aft deck, you’re sheltered from the sun and have a fantastic, sweeping view. There are wonderful opportunities for fishing. Getting too hot? Just jump in to cool off! (At your own risk—swim ladder provided.) There’s a hammock on the deck. Now you just have to decide whether to watch the beautiful sunset from the hammock or the wheelhouse.<br><br>Additional options<br>You can also invite friends and family; they can reserve a spot at the campground, spend the night in a cool glamping tent, or stay in an apartment or group accommodation. Check out Tijnjehoeve for the options! You’ll also receive more information about this in your welcome email.<br><br>At Tijnjehoeve, you can also rent a sailboat, a Lemsteraak with a skipper, take sailing lessons, and more. Please note: Do you have your own boat or are you renting a sloop for several days? That’s possible, but you’ll need to pay mooring fees for your boat.<br><br>Please note: Unfortunately, the bridge at Uitwellingerga is closed to car traffic until further notice. We recommend bringing your own bicycles or renting some to get to Sneek more quickly.<br><br>Guest access<br>It is prohibited to enter the engine room. You are not allowed to open certain hatches on the deck; these are marked with “private” signs. We ask for your understanding.<br><br>You are, however, allowed to be in the wheelhouse, sit on the deck, and use the hammock!<br><br>Other things to keep in mind<br>- Boating: You may not operate the boat.<br>- Not suitable for: Unfortunately, the boat is not suitable for people with disabilities or those with severe back problems (due to the need to bend over)<br>- Smoking: Smoking is not permitted indoors or in the wheelhouse.<br>- Pets: Unfortunately, pets are not allowed.<br>- Children: Life jackets are available for children; you are responsible for their use.<br>- Options for renting a sailboat, taking sailing lessons, renting a SUP, etc.: ask about the possibilities at Tijnjehoeve. You’ll receive a link for this in your welcome email. There are plenty of options!<br>- Option to book a caravan, group accommodation, or a glamping stay at Tijnjehoeve: invite friends and family and make it an unforgettable holiday together!
