Your special getaway on the water

The Harbor Residence offers a holiday experience that goes far beyond a typical overnight stay. This stylishly furnished houseboat is moored in the tranquil Hitdorf harbor in Leverkusen, right on the Rhine. Here, you truly live on the water and enjoy a unique atmosphere of gentle movements, expansive skies, and maritime harbor charm. The approximately 50 square meters comfortably accommodate two adult guests. The entire accommodation is exclusively yours during your stay, allowing you to enjoy your time together undisturbed.

Private whirlpool with harbor view

The absolute highlight awaits you right on the houseboat: your own private whirlpool. Let the warm water surround you as you gaze out over the harbor and soak up the special atmosphere on the Rhine. Especially in the evening, this becomes a wonderful retreat for relaxing hours together. Previous guests have been particularly enthusiastic about this experience. Since the whirlpool belongs exclusively to your accommodation, you can enjoy your wellness time in complete privacy and don't have to share this space with anyone.

Comfortable living with style

The inviting living area is perfect for relaxing after a stroll along the Rhine. A comfortable lounge with a sofa provides the ideal setting for quiet conversations, a movie night, or simply a break while enjoying the view of the water. A flat-screen TV, radio, and free Wi-Fi keep you entertained and connected. Air conditioning and heating ensure a comfortable temperature year-round. The thoughtful furnishings highlight the houseboat's unique character, blending modern living with the unmistakable atmosphere of a floating home.

Restful sleep in a separate bedroom

A separate bedroom is available for a restful night's sleep. The queen-size double bed offers comfortable sleeping space for two guests and clearly separates the relaxation area from the lounge. This allows you to retreat at the end of an eventful day and wake up in a unique setting. The gentle sounds of water, wind, birds, or passing boats are all part of the authentic harbor experience. Depending on the weather and water level, the houseboat may also move slightly, further enhancing the feeling of life on the water.

Practical kitchen for your favorite dishes

In your own kitchenette, you can prepare breakfast, snacks, and light meals to your liking. It's equipped with a refrigerator, a cooktop, a microwave, a coffee maker, a kettle, a toaster, and various kitchen utensils. Start your morning with freshly brewed coffee or enjoy a home-cooked meal in the privacy of your own home. You decide whether to cook on board or visit one of the restaurants and cafés nearby.

Private terrace directly on the water

Outdoor furniture and a dining area are available on the terrace. Here you can enjoy your breakfast in the fresh air, watch the harbor, or unwind with a drink at the end of the day. The unobstructed view of the water, sky, and boats makes every time of day special. The location combines tranquility with easy access, as the Rhine promenade, restaurants, and cafes are all within easy walking distance. The harbor park is also just a few steps away, while the Rhine meadows can be reached in about five minutes on foot.

Private bathroom and pleasant comfort

The houseboat has its own bathroom with shower and toilet. A hairdryer is also provided, so you're well-equipped for your stay. All essential living areas—the bedroom, lounge, kitchenette, bathroom, terrace, and whirlpool—are exclusively yours. No areas are shared with other guests. This privacy makes the harbor residence ideal for a romantic getaway, an extraordinary short trip, or a relaxing weekend for two on the Rhine.

Access and important information

You reach the houseboat from the shore via a jetty. Access is not wheelchair accessible and requires normal mobility and sure-footedness. Upon arrival, you will be personally greeted and given an explanation of the accommodation and its main features. In case of storms, flooding, or other unsafe conditions, access may be temporarily restricted. Please also note that the accommodation is intended exclusively for adult guests and a maximum of two people in total. If you love water, tranquility, and unique accommodations, you will find an unforgettable retreat here.

Maritime experience in Leverkusen

The location in Hitdorf harbor combines a unique living experience with proximity to the most beautiful paths along the Rhine. You can take a morning stroll along the water, explore the harbor park, or relax on the Rhine meadows. Afterward, return to your floating home and enjoy the lounge, the terrace, or the private whirlpool. The excellent feedback from previous guests particularly highlights the special amenities, the experience on the houseboat, and the helpful support. This will make your stay a truly memorable getaway.

About the area

Porz Through the Centuries

Rheinstrasse places travellers in Porz, a riverside district in southeastern Cologne with the feel of a small town beside the big city. Porz developed around an old Rhine crossing and retains historic highlights such as the medieval Zündorf watchtower, the narrow lanes of Zündorf and the elegant riverside buildings near Porz Markt. Farther north, the striking Romanesque church of St Heribert in Deutz and Cologne Cathedral are easily reached by local transport.

Culture Beyond the Riverbank

Indoor diversions include exhibitions and performances at the Bürgerzentrum Engelshof, a converted historic estate in nearby Westhoven. Central Cologne expands the cultural menu with the Museum Ludwig, home to modern art and an important Picasso collection, the Romano Germanic Museum and the fascinating Chocolate Museum beside the Rhine. On rainy days, the cafés and shops around Porz Markt offer an easy local alternative.

Rhine Paths and Woodland Escapes

The Rhine promenade is the district’s great outdoor attraction, ideal for walking, running and cycling with broad views across the water. A short trip south leads to Zündorf and the Groov, a peaceful leisure area with paths, lawns, boating and waterside restaurants. The Wahner Heide nature reserve and the forest trails around Gut Leidenhausen provide longer walks through heathland, woodland and open meadows.

Wild Cologne at the City’s Edge

The Rhine supports cormorants, grey herons, geese and other waterbirds, particularly along quieter banks and around the Groov. Wahner Heide is one of the region’s richest wildlife areas, sheltering rare insects, amphibians and numerous bird species among its heath and wetland habitats. Gut Leidenhausen also has a wildlife centre and bird of prey station, making it a rewarding destination for families and nature enthusiasts.
