We promise you a great sense of freedom, with amazing views over the Zaan River and the famous Dutch clouds, that inspired Rembrandt to create his amazing paintings, drifting by. Yet you're in the buzz of Amsterdam in just 20 minutes by car and less than 30 minutes by public transport. 

The houseboat is spacious and really offers anything you might need during your stay, and more. We host up to four guests to ensure you have all the space you might possibly want. The fully equipped open kitchen enables you to cook a great diner. Both bedrooms have an own bathroom and toilet, so no need to share with the rest of your party. And what better place is there to enjoy your breakfast than the wheelhouse with great panoramic views over the water. 

With good weather you can use two outside terraces to enjoy the sun. During the colder months the fire place is a great plus, especially with the comfortable couch to snuggle up. You have a private entrance to the houseboat apartment and we offer parking options as well. We live on the same boat, so we're there if you have any questions, yet full privacy during your stay is ensured.

    Great stay Show original

    We spent a pleasant week aboard this very well equipped barge. We appreciated José's welcome, his availability and of course these very filling and very good breakfast baskets. Smells of cocoa among the mills and superb sunsets.

    Great accommodation right next to the windmills

    We often try to stay a little out of the city centre on our city breaks. This houseboat was a great choice. I wouldn't recommend it to someone who struggles with stairs, particularly narrow stairs, but it's surprisingly spacious and well presented. Location wise we drove in parking at P+R Noord.

    Very charming houseboat, former cargo ship, that's what makes it so special. A quiet place to feel good, every now and then it smells wonderfully of freshly ground cocoa 🤎, which you can then enjoy freshly at the Zaanse Schans mills nearby. 😋 Very dear owners welcome you on the day of arrival and departure with a delicious Dutch breakfast 🧀 en warm brodjes. 👏🏼 Sunset on deck was beautiful, we enjoyed it sooo much. 🥰 Everything you need is there on board, the kitchen is well equipped 💯 thank you very much dear Juul & Peter for these unforgettable days ❤️🤍💙 on your ship. ⛴ We felt very welcome & comfortable! 🥰
