Explore your stay

The perfect place to relax after a busy day of sightseeing or even work! Our ship was originally built to transport cement powder in bulk all across the Netherlands, particularly through the Amstel River in the city of Amsterdam. After a two-year renovation, we converted the former cargo space into a spacious luxury home for ourselves and a beautiful luxury bed and breakfast! The bed and breakfast is situated in the front part of the ship and covers the whole front-side tank, a perfect place with a beautiful view over the lake.

The bed and breakfast features a sauna, bar with dishwasher and fridge, electrically adjustable beds, and Apple TV with Netflix and a projector. There are multiple take-away and delivery restaurants around the corner, including American, Surinamese, Indonesian, Thai, Italian, and Dutch foods. Please note that the B&B is NOT equipped with cooking facilities.

On the side, we have a small motorboat for rent, which you can take out for a ride on the lake! In the summer, of course, a swim is possible as well.

On request, 2 single person sofa beds can be put in place for a maximum of two additional guests or children; additional charges apply. A baby bed is available as well for free (please let us know in advance, so we can have everything set up upon your arrival).

Please bear in mind that we adhere to all rules and regulations to combat the coronavirus, including more intense cleaning of the place, and we do not allow visitors on board for our guests.

    Stay on the lovely boat for 4 Days

    Our stay was perfect, and Lianne was there for us the entire time, providing a fridge stocked to the brim every day, filled according to our preferences with a mix of homemade and Dutch treats. Even minor issues, such as a Wi-Fi outage, were resolved immediately. We always felt welcome and would highly recommend this host. For those who find access to the boat difficult, I would suggest traveling light or asking for assistance, I am sure the host family will find a solution. Upon departure, we were even allowed to store our suitcases temporarily, as we had an evening flight. Perfect stay, perfect days! Thanks so much, and lots of love from Lisa and Laura.

    Highly Recommended!

    First, I will say, be prepared for the narrow walkway and stairs you must traverse to get to the room. We weren't ready for this, and getting our luggage inside was a big chore. We also made use of the pull out beds, but they were so uncomfortable that we ended up using the couch instead. We also had problems with the toilet, as boat plumbing seems to be finicky. With those problems noted, why am I still giving 5 stars? Because the hosting was ASTOUNDING. Lianne was quick to respond, and when the issue with the toilet arose, she was so quick to act and help us out. She plied us with snacks and helped us experience the nightlife. She was friendly and everything you need in a host. We stayed in about five different places during our time in the Netherlands, and this was by far the best service. Our only regret was that we didn't spend more time here. The accommodation itself is clean and trendy, and the sauna was lovely. If you're looking for a houseboat experience, my whole family agrees that you have to give this one a try!

    Unique and beautiful place to stay

    This was such a unique and beautiful place to stay. Lianne is an incredibly gracious host that was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Would absolutely stay here again in the future!

    Houseboat review

    What a beautiful boat. There is everything you need on board. Fresh and clean. The hosts were lovely and welcoming. Breakfast is included and was 10/10. I would definitely recommend a trip here.

    Authentic Easter houseboat holidayShow original

    All in all, a successful stay. Perfect location for exploring Amsterdam, close to trams and buses. Wonderful views. The photos in the advertisement accurately reflect reality. As a family (2 adults, 2 children (11 and 14)), we had plenty of space. Despite the April weather, we enjoyed many a cozy evening watching movies from our beds. A word of caution: access can be a bit difficult with large suitcases, and you shouldn't have any physical limitations. It is, after all, a ship.
