About the Boat

The boat offers a distinctive combination of retro vintage elements, such as a curved ceiling and wooden walls, with modern luxury. This was quite a challenge, but we succeeded. Therefore, you can watch the flatscreen TV (70+ channels) from a genuine chair by Gerrit Rietveld, one of the most famous Dutch furniture designers, and have dinner at the vintage table of Holland’s design master Louis van Teeffelen whilst listening to your own music plugged in at the docking station.

Bathroom and Bedrooms

The exceptional bathroom is close to a spa. The bath, half sunk in the floor, and rain shower give a view of the porthole, which looks out over the canal—one of the preserved details of this old houseboat. Not only the Italian tiles and design taps but also the sheer size of the bathroom contribute to the ultimate bathing experience.

The Arden sleeps 4 people comfortably. It has two separate bedrooms with high-standard quality beds that can be used either as twins or doubles. All rooms have a water view and are provided with WiFi.

Fully Equipped Kitchen

The kitchen is designed for your convenience. The stylish white, minimal design covers a complete range of all the necessary utilities:

  • Induction cooker
  • Dishwasher
  • Fridge
  • Microwave
  • Oven
  • Washing machine with dryer

The drawers are fully stocked with all you can think of in order to make a complete dinner for your family or friends. We have made sure even the most experienced chef will feel at home. And if you don’t feel like cooking, rest assured, you are surrounded by some of the best restaurants in town.

Our Commitment

To the best of our knowledge and ability, we simply did everything, and continue to do so, to make you feel at home in our gorgeous part of Amsterdam!

About the area

Location and Neighborhood

Have a unique experience of Amsterdam on ‘the perfect houseboat,’ situated on a picturesque canal among the real local Amsterdammers of Oud-West.

As fellow boat-locals in Oud-West, without a doubt one of the most authentic and original parts of the city, we are proud to say that this area does not have any tourist traps, and you can truly experience great variety, food, and shops among the locals.

And yet, must-sees such as the Dam Square, Vondelpark, Anne Frank House, Westerkerk, and the Leidse Square are located within walking distance! Meander to the oldest part of the city called the Jordaan to enjoy boutique shopping and fantastic food, or walk to the theatre district and enjoy the great nightlife around the Leidse Square.

Scenic Views and Atmosphere

Enjoy the great view of one of the most beautiful canals in Amsterdam: the Da Costagracht. Feel the peace and quiet in the heart of the city whilst being enchanted by the rippling water, swans, and ducks. Nature has never been so close in the heart of one of the most historical cities in the world.

Our houseboat has large sliding windows with a view of the waterside. This offers not only a unique sight of Amsterdam water life but also a typical reflection on the ceiling, especially at night when the old street lanterns are lit. There is simply no new age CD, whale sounds, or Nepalese singing bowl that can beat that!

    Lovely houseboat at a great location!

    We had an amazing time at this houseboat in Amsterdam, right next to the Jordaan area. The living room is nice and spacious, the boat is located convenient and is very cosy. The floor heating is legendary, kept us all nice and warm in the winter time. Thanks!

    Great stay at a wonderful houseboat in Amsterdam

    We had an absolute amazing time at this wonderful houseboat. Unfortutely we did not meet the owner as they had a baby just a week before, but he was very quick to response to all our questions. The location was simply superb and we would stay here again without thinking a single moment. We highly recommend this lovely houseboat in Amsterdam!
