Wad 'n Stek - Boerderijtje Gele Lis
Quiet holiday home with a sunny garden, near the Boschplaat between the mudflats and dunes

Holiday home Gele Lis is located in the expansive Oosterend on Terschelling, where the sky is vast and the Wadden Sea is always close by. After a walk along the beach, through the dunes, or across the mudflats, you return to a charming semi-detached holiday home with a sunny garden. Here, you experience the peace and space of the island, with modern comforts. In early 2026, the home was carefully renovated—from the bathroom, toilet, and kitchen to the floors and paintwork—while preserving the atmosphere of the Terschelling farmhouse: contemporary comfort in a warm, characterful setting. The bright living-dining room features underfloor heating and a cozy gas fireplace, a spacious seating area, a dining area for four, a Sonos speaker for your own music or podcasts, and a smart TV with Ziggo, including all ESPN channels, Ziggo Sport, and German and English channels; you can also watch all your favorite streaming services via your own accounts. The new kitchen is fully equipped, so cooking for the entire party is effortless. In Gele Lis, you will find two bedrooms, each with lovely box-spring beds. It is a great place for a couple looking for spacious living, but it also offers plenty of room for four adults or a family. Downstairs, you sleep next to the bathroom with a walk-in shower; the toilet is separate. A fixed staircase leads upstairs to the second bedroom and the mezzanine with extra storage space. If you are traveling with a baby or young children, Gele Lis is the logical choice of our two cottages: a cot, high chair, and baby bath are already set up. Outside, you can enjoy the sunny garden with two lounge sofas, a lounge chair, coffee table, and parasol, and you can enjoy a lovely meal outdoors at the picnic table while listening to the birds in the bushes. The garden is wonderfully sheltered; you truly have privacy there. The parking space for one car or bicycles is located just past the house on the left; from there, you walk along a paved path to the front door.

Wad 'n Stek

Wad 'n Stek consists of two warm, cozy semi-detached holiday cottages side by side, each with a sunny garden, on the edge of the Boschplaat nature reserve: the place where mudflats, dunes, and starry sky meet. Gele Lis has two full-sized bedrooms and is also suitable for families with young children; Vergeet mij niet is cozy and ideal for couples, solo travelers, or a group with an older child. And if you prefer to stay at home, you can enjoy the space and nature around you in peace and quiet in the cottage or the garden.

Location

Our two cottages are situated on the edge of the Boschplaat nature reserve, in the quiet village of Oosterend on the east side of Terschelling: a place for lovers of peace, space, and nature. From the street, you can walk straight into the dunes or to the dike to explore the Wadden Sea. On the Boschplaat, you will encounter Hereford cattle and countless birds, and in the evening, a starry sky sparkles above the quietest spot in the Netherlands like nowhere else. The vast North Sea beach and iconic spots such as Heartbreak Hotel and the Drenkelingenhuisje are also within easy reach.

Introduction

We are the Klinkenberg family: Michiel, Jennifer, our son, and our toy poodle. Together, we run Wad ’n Stek and have been the proud owners of the holiday homes Gele Lis and Vergeet me niet in Oosterend since September 2025. Our favorite pastime is walking in nature. Jennifer used to ride on the back of a bike towards the Boschplaat as a child and later played hide-and-seek in the Hoornse Bos. In 2015, she returned, this time together with Michiel and our toddler. Since then, we have returned to Terschelling every year, preferably to Oosterend, often even to the same cottages that we now proudly rent out. We continue to explore and walk to the very tip of the island. For us, Terschelling is a place of peace, wonder, and connection. As soon as we step onto the boat, we take a deep breath, relax, and feel at home. We wish that same feeling for our guests: that upon arrival, you immediately let go and feel welcome.

Tips from the host

Our absolute tips for a stay on our favorite island: Marvel at the countless birds on the Boschplaat, or simply in the garden. Get a breath of fresh air with a walk to the Drenkelingenhuisje, or walk on to the easternmost point: there you can see the shrimp fishermen at work, with the Ameland lighthouse in the distance. Discover the Wadden Sea at low tide: cross the road, take the path to the dike, and go down the steps. Or wander through the Hoornse Bos, where we as a family love to walk and play hide-and-seek. If you enjoy longer hikes, walk via the Groene Strand to the Noordsvaarder, climb to the highest dune, and walk back through the countryside towards the Brandaris: an experience you won't soon forget. And the best part is: you don't always have to go out. Even in the cottage or the sunny garden, you can enjoy the space, comfort, and nature around you in complete peace and quiet.
