Welcome to your stay

This winter we warmly welcome you aboard our wonderful and warm houseboat, on the Verge of the Jordaan area. The spacious living room reflects the water while you enjoy the great scenery of our canal through the large sliding window. Even in the middle of the winter the boat feels comfortable thanks to the floored heating and retro vintage design. Not to mention the amazing bathroom with Italian tiling, rain shower and large bath to relax after a great day in town.

Explore your stay

The houseboat, designed under architecture, offers a great combination of vintage elements such as a curved ceiling and wooden walls with modern luxury. It was quite a challenge to do this, but we succeeded. The most striking thing about the houseboat is the large sliding window that gives a wonderful view over our canal, so you can watch the ducks, swans and geese swim by while you relax at the large dining table.

The open kitchen offers all amenities you expect in a high-end cuisine: a electric coocer, water boiler, microwave- combi oven, refrigerator, coffee machine, dishwasher and even a washing- dry machine. About the interior. Enjoy the flatscreen tv (70 channels+) from a genuine chair of Gerrit Rietveld, one of the most famous Dutch furniture designers, and have a dinner at the vintage table of Hollands design master Louis van Teeffelen. And off course we have free and high speed Wifi to keep you connected at all times.

About the area

You will be staying at the wonderful Da Costakade, a canal in the buzzing neighborhood called Oud West, on the verge of the Jordaan Area. Many great points of interest are located within walking distance. The Anne Frank-house is just a 5 - 7 minute stroll away, and in about 10 minutes you are at the Leidseplein (Leidse Square), as well as the world famous Vondelpark and Museum Square. There are various bus- and tram stops nearby to take you to literally every corner of the city in less than 30 minutes. 

Although the location is really convenient, you will not be bothered by tourist masses at all. Actually our canal is surprisingly quiet and safe, making our houseboat perfect for a relaxed holiday with friends or family.

The boat has two separate bedrooms, each with a large double bed that can be separated if you would like to sleep apart. The sleeping couch in the living room can be used as a comfortable bed for two persons. The sleeping area in the living room can be made more private by using the heavy quality curtain. This actually gives a very cosy atmosphere that especially kids really like a lot. The bathroom could be called a little Spa without exaggerating. The half sunken bath and rain shower are covered with the beautiful Italian tiles of Appiani and give view to the original porthole. Two sinks with design taps make sure there is enough space for everybody and there won't be a traffic jam in the morning.

    A great stay at a great houseboat in Amsterdam

    We were so lucky to stay at this houseboat this September. From the reservation to the payment and our stay at the floating home was easy. Really everything you can wish for is around the corner, just a few minutes walking max. Would love to come back one day and truly recommend staying here if you can.

    Great Location

    We loved staying on Arden. It was cosy, quiet, comfortable and well-equipped. We were able to walk everywhere as all our destinations were within a 30 minute walk. There are lots of nice places to eat nearby. Juul had some good recommendations. Juul was a very good host in that he was accommodating to our needs and prompt and friendly in his correspondence. I would happily recommend Arden to friends and would stay there again.

    Just a wonderful boat - great location

    We had a fantastic time. The boat is located superb near the centre of the city and the shops and restaurants are just around the corner. The 'Péniche' is really designed very nice and offers great comfort. We had some minor issues with the internet connection and water, but that was solved in a minute or two by Jules. He is a very nice and trustworthy host, uncomplicated guy. 

    Had a great stay and would recommend to stay here if you're looking for a convenient houseboat rental.
