It takes about five minutes to get to the bus stop. From there you can travel to the north (Broek in Waterland, Monnickendam, Edam, Volendam and Hoorn) or to the city of Amsterdam
We live nearby Amsterdam, just 20 minutes by public transport, in a beautiful rural setting at the picturesque Broek in Waterland. This new houseboat has an area of 200 m2 and is equipped with every luxury. Includes a mooring / bathing jetty and a rowing boat. The houseboat is located on the meadow across the dike and is only accessible with the help of a private ferry or a rowing boat.
Houseboat description
Very modern houseboat provided with large folding glass windows, so that you have a direct interaction with the beautiful rustic environment.
The houseboat has two stories. At the first floor you will find the entrance, the living room and a large kitchen. The beautifully designed staircase brings you downstairs to the master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.
Furthermore there are two children's bedrooms, a guest bathroom with shower and a spare room with a sofa bed. In front of the houseboat is a jetty.
Broek in Waterland can be reached by bus from Amsterdam. From the Kruisweg bus stop it is a five minutes walk to the mooring.
About the area
Broek in Waterland is a village in the municipality of Waterland and has a protected cityscape. The village is just above Amsterdam just west of Monnickendam.
One of the oldest buildings in the village is the Sint-Nicolaaskerk that overlooks' t Havenrak. In this harbor one of the most beautiful buildings in Broek is the Swanenburgh teahouse. This tea house was visited by Napoleon Bonaparte in the beginning of the nineteenth century. The old core of Broek in Waterland consists mainly of wooden houses painted in various pastel shades. Many of these houses are decorated with a door calf that is typical for this region.
Sadly we were just there for a few days, because we enjoyed it so much, we wanted to stay forever.
The location around the boat is just beautiful an you can rest there in an idyllic village outside amsterdam.
When you want to visit the city it's just about 15 minutes with the bus but you are also able to sit outside and forget all of your stress.
Most memorable stay!

A home away from home, for 4 nights and during NewYearsEve!! Unforgettably special. Thank you for lending your wonderful houseboat to us and the very sweet hospitality. The whole setting was perfect. The view, the fireworks, the cozy interior, burning wood in the fireplace, cooking food in your awesome kitchen. Comfortable beds and Bath!
