Stay okay

Welcome!

The lovely village of Heeg lies in the heart of the Frisian lake district. It offers all the space and calm you could ever hope for. Hoist the sails room, chart a cycle or walking tour or venture out in a canoe – feel free to do as you like!

Stayokay Heeg is situated on a former island on the edge of Heegermeer, the largest lake in Friesland. The hostel has its own ANWB-certified sailing school, ‘It Beaken’, as well as a harbour with authentic Frisian tjotter flatboats. It’s the perfect spot to learn how to sail, rent a boat to sail yourself or sail with a the help of a skipper. And are you looking for some Frisian conviviality? The hostel has a cosy brown café and a restaurant with a splendid view of the meadows and water. In the morning, the hostel’s waterfront terrace is an excellent spot to get ready for the day ahead.
