Houseboat summary
The Couples Stay is the perfect accommodation for a two couples trip or small family vacation. The houseboat has two bedrooms located next to one another with their own facilities and accessed by two separated entrances. This can guarantee privacy and a joined vacation at the same time.
Located only a few minutes from Amsterdam Central Station, both apartments are newly renovated with a special attention to details. And the location could not be better: close to the buzzing city center, yet you are assured to enjoy a good night rest since our harbor is peaceful and away from the tourist masses.
Houseboat description
What to expect?
Apartment 1
In the old wheelhouse there is a large sofa and a dining table to enjoy each others company. Here you can sit and talk, watch a movie on your lap top or have a meal. Trough the windows you will have a breath taking view on the historical and hysterical Amsterdam 360 degrees around you.
The high end double bed (200x150 cm) is located in the front of the hull, and although beneath water level this is probably the most elevating place you and your beloved one ever slept. There is another separate double bed in the same space too.
The kitchenette offers a toaster and coffeemaker and water cooker so that you can prepare your own breakfast. There are no real cooking facilities for a fancy dinner, but with so much wonderful restaurants and bars around we imagine you don't want to think about cooking yourself at all. And they all deliver, in case you prefer to have a romantic dinner in the garden, on deck or in the wheelhouse, all is possible.
The bathroom offers everything you need during a well deserved houseboat holiday in Amsterdam: shower, sink with lighted mirror, as well as a hair dryer and towels. There is also a separate toilet.
Apartment 2
The best floating hotel room possible: It has a bathroom en suite, a private love seat outside on deck, a coffee corner with a minibar fridge and your own private swimming pool: just jump in the waters from your deck and swim.
We have chosen to use a combination of 'earthy' materials such as wooden timber-work, warm cotton bedding and rugged steel and copper details to show the industrial history of this former freight ship. Please keep in mind that kids below 6 years old are not allowed.
Along with the shades of ivory paint this results in a warm and natural atmosphere. There are plenty of wall- and very useful USB-sockets so you won't have any problems charging your devices during your stay.
The whole apartment has comfortable floor heating and great insulation so you will be comfortably warm even during the coldest winter nights.
In between the 2 front doors there are about 10 - 12 steps.
The neighborhood
Although our harbor is nice and quiet, you will be in the middle of the city life within a minute walking. We hope that during your stay with us you will enjoy one another and the pleasures our neighborhood and our city offers. This is why we do not have televisions or radio's on board. But for the ones who can not live without (social) media, we do offer excellence fast WiFi. The only thing you have to do is bring your own mobile(smart)phone or tablet/computer with you.
Across the street you find one of the many great bars around: Café Pollux, laid back place to have a drink or simple meal. Walk on and you will find many other places to eat, with cuisines basically from every corner of the world. In the immediate neighborhood you will find the buzzing Zeedijk and Red Light district, as well as the Maritime and Science museums. Get inspired on the daily market Nieuwmarkt and find cool stuff on the Waterloo Square (Waterlooplein). Walk the other way and you will enjoy the amazing views over the IJ-River, and when the sun is shining make sure to visit the terrace of bar Hannekes Boom!
