Welcome to your stay

Our floating B&B 'Happiness together' in Amsterdam Noord is safe and Corona-proof. You will stay in a spacious room with private bathroom. You will have all the privacy you want and will definitely enjoy the great view over the water. Our guests appreciate the tranquility in our neighborhood, the garden and the hospitality we offer.

Explore your stay

Our location
The houseboat is located in a quiet side canal of the IJ River and moored on a peaceful dike with many other houseboats. On the other side of the dike lies the Wilmkebreekpolder, a unique natural area in the heart of Amsterdam. The free NDSM Wharf ferry is a 25-minute walk or a 5-minute bike ride away. It takes you directly to Central Station. Public transport is a 15-minute walk away, and the city center is a 25-minute journey.

If you'd like to explore the quintessential Dutch landscape, with its expansive green fields and charming waterways, our houseboat is the perfect choice. It's also fun to explore the small villages in the area by bike. The Zaanse Schans, a World Heritage site with its iconic windmills, is also within easy reach.

Good night's sleep
Our guests appreciate our location because we're close to the city center, yet away from the noisy tourist crowds in our neighborhood. This guarantees a wonderful night's sleep in the comfortable double bed. For hygiene reasons, we use a combined duvet and pillowcase.
You will certainly enjoy the aquatic life during your stay like a 'local'.

Room
After returning from the city, you can either relax in your room or enjoy our garden. Sliding doors in your room also allow you to sit on our floating terrace. You can also use our pedal boat to explore the canal. In the summer months, you can swim in the canal, as many locals do. Naturally, we offer all the luxuries you would expect from a comfortable room: underfloor heating, fast Wi-Fi, a refrigerator, kettle, coffee maker, egg cooker, television/radio, and a private entrance.

We use a duvet and cover in one for hygiene reasons.

 

Breakfast
Breakfast is included in the price and is served in your room in DIY (Do It Yourself) style so you can enjoy it at your own time.

Paid parking
Paid parking will be in effect on our dike from November 17, 2025

Neighbourhood
We have a good relationship with our neighbors and would like to maintain it. Therefore, we ask for your cooperation in this regard. While staying at our B&B is a celebration, we are not a party venue. So, please refrain from loud music or discussions in our garden.

We hope we've given you the best possible impression of our floating B&B, but please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have. We're happy to help!

    Superb peaceful location lovely welcome!

    A lovely welcome from Rolie to their floating home, part of which is converted to an independent apartment with its own front door accessing the property independently, with patio doors onto the floating pontoon. It had everything needed for a comfortable stay, plus use of their pedal boat moored outside. We really enjoyed our short stay and plan to return!

    Great Experience with "Happiness Together"Show original

    For a first experience in a Boathouse, this one was excellent. After a day wandering the streets of Amsterdam, it's very pleasant to relax in peace on the terrace facing the canal. In addition we had decent weather all week. We recommend this rental. Another big thank you to Roelie for her welcome. Isabelle and Bruno

    Simply a great weekend!Show original

    We were absolutely thrilled with the idyllically situated houseboat! A very sweetly furnished room, a large bathroom, and, of course, a fantastic view from the dock, perfect for enjoying the morning and evening. Everything was super clean, and the breakfast was very varied (bread, cold cuts, eggs, cereal, yogurt, freshly squeezed orange juice—what more could you want). We were able to rent bikes right there, so you can reach the ferry in just a few minutes to get to the center. Absolutely recommended for anyone who enjoys peace and quiet while still wanting to be in the city center quickly!
