Houseboat description

Situated on one of the most beautiful canals, THE BROUWERSGRACHT, you will find houseboat GALEFORCE ONE. A houseboat with a self-catering studio for your holiday rental or city break.

Imagine having an unforgettable stay in a houseboat on one of the most beautiful canals right in the most popular area of Amsterdam, THE JORDAAN. You will find most points of interest within walking distance, and there is an abundance of small pubs, cafés, and cozy restaurants for you to enjoy your breakfast, lunch, or dinner all around the houseboat.

Experience the Water

If you are looking for a special holiday, you will not find a better location to experience staying on a houseboat. The connection with the water and the animals floating past your window while sitting on your private deck. Swans and ducks begging for a scrap of bread and all kinds of small boats passing by with people enjoying a leisurely boat ride. It's the ultimate way to enjoy the best Amsterdam has to offer on the water.

About the Studio

Now something more about the place itself. The studio offers all the privacy you want, and you don't need to share any space, only the front door, with me. In the studio, you will find a very comfortable double bed from where you have a water view. Furthermore, there is enough closet space and a fan to ensure a cool breeze during hot summer days. The wide windows with sliding doors let in lots of light and give access to a small waterside terrace. A wonderful place to just sit back and relax while the always-changing city views pass by. Now you will feel truly like a real 'Amsterdammer'.

Bathroom Amenities

In the private bathroom, you will find a walk-in shower, sink, and toilet.

I hope to have given you the best impression possible and look forward to welcoming you aboard!

About the area

Location! Location! Location! That's most important where you are, well the Gaiforce One Houseboat is situated in just about the best and nicest location in Amsterdam. In the very heart of the 18th century old city-centre. If you look outside you have the feeling you find yourself in a 18th century oil painting. All around you there are 3 to 400 year old canal-houses and warehouses. It can't get better than that! It's amazing!

The houseboat is located on the canal-belt in THE JORDAAN, which used to be the poorest area of Amsterdam in the olden days, but is now the most trendy and favoured area by locals and tourists. There is a maze of narrow streets, with many lovely restaurants, pubs and quaint shops. On almost every corner you will find an café with an outdoor terrace, where you can enjoy a drink while watching the hustle and bustle of life on the canals.

In the 17th/18th century Amsterdam was a thriving trading post where ships brought their ware from all over the world to be stored in the warehouses of The Brouwersgracht. These warehouses you still see today and from your window! when staying on The Guest-Houseboat, these are now converted into very popular luxury and trendy loft apartments, sought after by locals and ex-pats.

Apart from the beauty of the area, the houseboat is ideally located for your visits to many of the important sights and a mere 10 minutes walk from the Central Station, would you want to travel outside of Amsterdam to for instance, The Hague (40 minutes by train), Haarlem (15 minutes), Rotterdam(50 minutes) or the airport ( 15 minutes) even the beach is just 20 minutes by train.

So you see... LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!!!

    Quaint and perfect

    We really enjoyed our time using this boathouse. There was a really large and modern bathroom, a large and really nice comfortable bed, and two chairs that we used to sit outside on a deck and watched small boats go by. The location was also perfect for walking and it was only about a 15 minute walk from the train station and other attractions. We would certainly like to stay here again for future stays.

    Wonderful experience in Amsterdam!

    So much fun to stay in our little “home”. Great location to walk to shops, restaurants, outdoor markets and sites, including the Anne Frank House and Dam Square. Ate across the canal at The Papeneiland Cafe and Small World, both recommended by Patricia. Grocer, cheese, bread and wine shops nearby to get food to bring “home”. Great communication, place was spotless, with coffee, tea, cookies and even a bottle of wine provided. Made aware of construction across canal before arrival, but was not noisy. Thank you, Patricia, for sharing your houseboat with us.

    Wonderful stay!

    We loved our time on Gale Force! It was such a cosy room with a comfortable bed and lovely views. Even when it rained, it was so peaceful with the water tapping on the roof and canal surface outside. There was great coffee available and a lovely welcome bottle of wine when we arrived. The host was great and also helped us on check-out day with our luggage, as we had a late flight that day. I very much recommend it, and many thanks!
