Houseboat description
The houseboat was built in 1930 in the Netherlands and was used as a Freycinet-type canal boat until in 2014 it was transformed into a luxury hotel boat.
Daphne's Houseboat is divided into a large lounge, that can also be used as a dining room, a kitchen equipped with all the necessary appliances, six bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms with basin and toilets, and a cozy library. There are five bedrooms with double beds and one bedroom with a bunk bed.
Do you want to explore more of the boat? You are very welcome to relax on the deck or take a look in wheel-house!
Surrounded by a unique scenery the houseboat is near many local attractions like The Absinthe museum, Ravoux Inn, Auvers castle, Doctor Gachet’s House and Daubigny Museum. Want to follow in the footsteps of great artists like Daubigny, Pissaro, Cézanne and Van Gogh? Then this is the place to be!
Next to the well known landmarks you can also enjoy a concert or a festival, as Auvers-sur-Oise hosts numerous events throughout the year.
