Welcome to your stay

Our houseboat truly feels like a diamond, shining bright in one of the oldest harbors of the city, just three minutes walking from Central Station.

Explore your stay

A true eye-catcher of the watervilla is the rugged steel stairs with an integrated fire place on each floor that seems to grow right through the whole houseboat. Also in the kitchen area, we have used lots of steel and stone to create a cool, tough atmosphere. Yet, the large windows and sliding door let in lots of light. The happy red kitchen table give the whole place a happy touch, putting a broad smile on your face as soon as you enter the boat.

The location is just perfect. When arriving at Central Station it is just a three minute walk before you arrive at the boat. This is a lovely short walk along the water, and it gives a good first impression of our beloved city. On arrival we warmly welcome you aboard 'El Diamante'.

On the top floor you have access to the comfortable and light living room with a sitting and dining area. Go down the stairs to enter another great space. On the lower deck you will find the central room with adjacent large bedroom with large and comfortable double bed. Also this area has lots of windows and portholes, letting in lots of day light. Furthermore there is one extra double bed in the central room.

The bathroom features both a shower and a bathtub. One of the unique aspects of the houseboat is that the bath is located below water level, creating a special atmosphere while you relax after a day exploring Amsterdam.

Last but not least let me tell you something about the area where we live. This stationary houseboat is docked along the quay of a charming, picturesque harbor - literally minutes away from the buzzing city center. Yet the area is nice and quiet at night, without tourist masses passing by. It is a true hidden gem right within the city. Around the corner you find the Amsterdam Central Station, on the other side of the water there is an amazing floating Chinese restaurant, the city library, and the Nemo science museum. Also within a few minutes walking there is the red light district, Nieuwmarkt, Dam Square etc.

Before you book, please note:

  • Children below 8 years old are not allowed on board - babies are.
  • The fireplace can only be used after host approval and when no 'stookalerts' are active from the government.

How to get there

From the moment you arrive at Central Station it is just a few minutes walking to reach our houseboat. Of course we will share the exact details after your booking is confirmed. 

About the area

Our neighborhood is defined by one of the oldest harbors of Amsterdam. Not only the harbor, but also the old buildings and of course the red light district are typical locations that belong to a naval hot spot.  

Although the ship is located super central, you will be impressed by the tranquility that is found here. No tourist masses passing by, but a laid back and almost rural atmosphere.

    4 night stay in beautiful Amsterdam

    Everything was so simple right from the start - contact with Bookahouseboat and the host was easy. The boat itself was in a perfect location, 10-minute easy stroll to town and lovely and quiet. It was plenty big enough for 4 of us and the decking out front was the perfect place to chill before dinner and rest our weary feet. The only thing missing on the boat was an ice compartment, but we survived!

    A True Gem

    We looked so long and hard for the right accommodation to stay while in Amsterdam. First, we wanted to experience the houseboat living but just couldn’t find a houseboat that felt right for us. Then we looked on AirBnB and couldn’t seem to find any two bedrooms/two baths that didn’t have stairs (we are in our 60’s and 70’s and with more luggage than usual because this is a 3-month journey that involves a couple of cruises starting from the Caribbean and crossing the Atlantic to many European countries with different climates).

    There are very few Airbnb properties that meet our needs, not perfect, and not affordable either. Then we decided to book with a hotel and made 5 different hotel reservations at various times which we later canceled because something was just missing. Then we found Nina’s houseboat. The minute we saw the pictures, we knew this was the one and never looked back.

    We loved how modern and roomy the living space was. There’s a hammock in front of the patio door that my wife used every day and night while trying to recuperate from a bad case of bronchitis. Something worth mentioning is that the temperature on the lower level where the two beds and a very roomy full bath are located is very cold by our standards coming from the warmer climate of California. The bathroom, though, is nice and warm. All in all, we are very happy with Nina’s houseboat and appreciate her making it available to us. We hope she will make it available to us again if and when we come back to Amsterdam.

    Luxury houseboat centrally located

    We had a lovely stay in El Diamante, centrally located close to the Central Station, but still quiet and peaceful. We were 4 people and 3 generations. Everything was working fine. Everything we needed was there. The host, Noa, was very helpful, friendly and service minded.

    Wonderful stay!

    This was a great stay! The houseboat looks exactly like the photos. Very relaxing, sitting area/patio right on the water, super quiet... Our host was very communicative and accommodating. We had everything at our fingertips, and the boat truly felt like our home for the entire week we were there. Would love to stay again!

    Even More Stunning in Person

    I researched houseboats a bit obsessively ahead of my Amsterdam trip, and I can tell you this one is worth every penny! Much more lovely and spacious in person than you can tell from the photos. The shower (unpictured, but across from the tub) was lovely as well, with plenty of hot water. Nina came to check me in and was a welcoming host. I would absolutely return to this beautiful accommodation.
