The boat is situated in 'Het Meertje', a side-arm of the river Waal (Rhine), together with 10 other boats. The location is on the edge of the Nijmegen city centre and the rural Ooij-polder where you can bike, walk and relax endlessly. Did you know by the way that Nijmegen is the oldest city of the Netherlands and that in 2021 the Roman limes were put on Unesco's World Heritage list? Also in terms of health, green and sustainability, Nijmegen scores internationally very high.  

We have 5 different terraces on and around the boat where you can sit, relax and enjoy sunshine or shadow all day: 4 of them are on the boat, one big terrace is on the dyke, where our garden lies.

The kitchen is functional and basic, not super luxurious. We don't have a dishwasher, nor a micro wave. But we do have a kitchen island, we cook on gas. And of course a toaster, coffee machine and water cooker. To the kitchen attached is a big living space, with a dining table, chairs and stereo set (and a piano). 

Downstairs there is furthermore a hall, toilet, bathroom and the master bedroom.  

Two different stairs bring you to the first floor. Here you find another bedroom, toilet, washbasin, small kitchenette and the central living room, with TV and stereo set. 

The whole accommodation is about 150 m2.   

The houseboat is not suitable for families with little children who cannot swim. Not all sections of the boat have a fence that protects against falling into the water. 

You can swim in 'Het Meertje', if the water level of the river Waal is high enough. In summer time, with the effects of climate change, sometimes the water level is too low to swim or canoo. There's a swimming pool ladder on the boat, that takes you directly to the water. Diving is not permitted, because the water can be rather shallow.

There is a yellow canoe for 2 persons that may be used. Of course this is at your own risk.
