Deckhouse Suite - Wellness luxery houseboat

Sleeping on the Water

Step aboard and experience Amsterdam in a way you won’t soon forget. This luxurious boutique houseboat is located on the Oudeschans, right in the heart of the city, yet in a remarkably peaceful spot. The Forepeak Suite is designed for two guests and combines the unique feeling of sleeping on the water with the comfort of a stylish stay. As the boat gently moves with the water, you can enjoy the atmosphere of Amsterdam’s canals. From the suite and the deck, you can watch boats pass by and experience daily life on the water up close.

Comfortable Suite for Two

The suite features one bedroom with a spacious king-size bed. Luxurious bedding ensures a restful night’s sleep after a day of walking, shopping, or visiting museums. The interior feels warm, well cared for, and comfortable, with several seating areas where you can relax together. Watch television, plan your next walk through the city, or quietly enjoy a cup of coffee. Heating and air conditioning help keep the interior comfortable regardless of the season. Thanks to wireless internet, you can also easily stay connected when you want to share photos, look something up, or work online between activities.

Relax in Your Private Sauna

One of the most special amenities is the built-in private sauna. After an active day in Amsterdam, you don’t need to leave the houseboat to fully unwind. Warm up, relax your muscles, and end the day feeling completely at ease. The modern bathroom has a comfortable shower, and the suite is equipped with practical essentials, including a hairdryer and bed linen. Guests describe the shower as surprisingly good and appreciate the combination of a modern bathroom and a private sauna. This makes your stay not only adventurous but also wonderfully luxurious and comfortable.

A Terrace on the Canal

Outside, the houseboat has a small private terrace. This is a wonderful spot for your first coffee in the morning or a quiet drink at the end of the afternoon. Sit in the sun and watch canal boats and other vessels glide by. The lively canals provide an ever-changing view, while the residential surroundings feel peaceful and safe. Inside, you can also choose from several seating areas, so there is always a comfortable spot to read, catch up, or simply enjoy the unique surroundings.

Central and Peaceful Location

The location makes this houseboat especially appealing. You’ll be staying in the centre of Amsterdam, within walking distance of Amsterdam Central Station and numerous restaurants, shops, and attractions. The distinctive Montelbaanstoren is nearby and provides a beautiful landmark during your walks through the neighbourhood. According to previous guests, you can reach the bustle of the city centre in about ten minutes on foot, while returning to the tranquillity of the water afterwards. This gives you the best of both worlds: a central base and a relaxing place to retreat to.

A Stay with Character

Previous guests praise the comfortable bed, friendly welcome, convenient location, and waterside terrace.

Keep in mind, however, that this really is a boat. Bringing a lot of large luggage can be difficult due to the access and steps. The layout may also be less suitable for guests with limited mobility. If you travel with compact luggage and are comfortable using stairs, a charming and unforgettable stay awaits you.

Start your morning with views of the canal, explore the historic city centre during the day, and then return to your own peaceful spot on the water. Make use of the sauna, settle into one of the seating areas, or enjoy the passing boat traffic from the terrace. The combination of luxurious bedding, a king-size bed, modern amenities, and a central location makes this suite ideal for a romantic weekend or a longer stay for two. Here, you don’t just sleep in Amsterdam, but truly become part of the unique life along its canals.

Your Private Space

Our houseboat has multiple private areas. You’ll be staying in the beautiful suite shown in the photos, which is your private space during your stay. Other parts of the boat are not included.
