Whole Houseboat with lake view - 23 min from Amsterdam

We really enjoyed our houseboat holiday. The boat is located on a quiet and relaxed area. It was easy to get to the centre of the city (about 15 minutes by bus) The free ferry to the centre is quiet a walk, but very doable when using bikes. There is a very good super market within walking distance of the houseboat - this was very convenient too. Thanks for having us!

Really cool and quiet place to stay in Amsterdam. There were 6 of us and plenty of room for us al. Actually bigger than it looks on the photo's. Vinyl collection was great. Fire keep the whole boat warm, even in mid-winter when we stayed on this houseboat. Easy connection to central station, about 15 minutes and the local cafe is great for bite to eat. 

Would certainly stay again when back in Amsterdam

We stayed over New Years, a party of six was more than comfortable on the boat. Anton was really welcoming and helpful with instructions on how to operate the heating etc. Even let us use 3 of his bikes that are on site! Communal showers are great if you want to save some water on the boat. Log fire is amazing and warms the boat up really quickly. Comfy beds. The surrounding area of Monnickendam is really nice, especially at night! It's around a 10 minute walk to the bus stop from the boat to get to Amsterdam Central, this will drop you right near the train station in Central. Would definitely stay again.

Anton warmly welcomed us aboard on the newly renovated houseboat, where the fireplace was already on. We had a great weekend. Going back and forth with the Ferry goes very fast, but there are also nice restaurants and bars in the neighborhood. The area (NDSM site) is still in development. This means that there are still some buildings under construction, but we found that actually very charming. In terms of facilities, the shower needs to be given some attention, but I think Anton is definitely getting started. We were staying here with two persons but the great thing is that the boat is also very suitable for more people.

Reply from Anton: Thanks for your great review - glad to say that the shower is fixed ;-) 

The lodging on the ship was very relaxing for my family and me. We loved the location, could see the whole harbor and swim a round every day. We reached the city quickly by ferry or by bus. Therefore a clear recommendation for this houseboat from me and my family!

With love, Kim
