Amsterdam Beach and Dune - sleeps 4

Welcome aboard. In our floating B&B (bed and bicycle) you can experience living on the water. The two rooms, called Beach and Dune, have a lovely waterfront view, and we are glad to offer a part of our garden that you may call your own, overlooking the canal. The ferry is only 5 minutes away by bike and takes you into the heart of Amsterdam for free.

Our Boat is very much appreciated by guests who want to discover the wonderful city of Amsterdam, yet enjoy the tranquility of our neighborhood. No tourist masses, but only an occasional water bird passing by. Therefore you are assured to have a great night rest during your stay. 

About the bedrooms

Each bedroom has a private en-suite bathroom with a toilet, sink, and shower. You will have your own entry as well, so your privacy is ensured. The large windows let in lots of light, creating a very nice, light and bright atmosphere.

Our houseboat, a modern barge, is located on a quiet canal in Amsterdam. The swans, geese, and ducks swimming by will bring you in a good mood for sure, as well as the reflection of the water on your bedroom ceiling. It's just something that no hotel room can match.

Enjoy the garden

If you just want to take it easy, you will enjoy our garden with roofed terrace for sure. Sit back and relax in the lounge corner, go swimming or canoeing in the canal or light up a BBQ!

Breakfast 

There are basic breakfast things in the pantry: coffee, tea, juice, cereals. And you can use  use the free bikes to get your own favorite bread etc. from the nearby supermarket. Have your breakfast in your room of in the lounge place in the garden. Or go to one of the breakfast places near the ferry, on your way to the city.  

Bikes

4 sturdy city bikes are available for you free of charge. 

Enjoy nature

ON the bikes you can get around easily. Of course, you will visit the city center, but be aware that there is lots of nature to enjoy literally around the corner. The Twiske, Waterland and the Zaanse Schans are popular destinations to enjoy the Dutch countryside. If you are traveling by car, we're pleased to say that you can park your car for free right in front of the door - quite exceptional in Amsterdam!

Couples and families welcome

We warmly welcome families up to four persons and couples traveling together. As we live on the same boat and we love to keep a good relationship with our neighbors, we want to let you know that we're not a party place. Otherwise, we love to have you aboard and share the wonderful experience of living on the water!

PS one last thing: We are non-smokers and we find it hard to accomodate heavy smokers in and around our house. So if you want to smoke a lot, please find somewhere else to stay.  Thanks for understanding!

If you arrive by car, be assured that you can park it for free at our houseboat.

If you travel by public transport, just take the free ferry that takes you from Central Station to Amsterdam North. From there you can walk to our boat in 20 minutes. 

With heavy luggage you better take the metro 2 stops and from there the bus which stops just around the corner, This takes also 20 minutes

The location is very quiet but close to the NDSM wharf There are some nice restaurants and a lot of cultural things happening. You will feel the cool atmosphere of the houseboat community, and really be part of it during your stay.
