    Outstanding boathouse

    Outstanding boathouse, we loved the house, the bikes, the boat, feeding the ducks & swans from our window. This stay is an experience, highly recommend. And the best B&B host EVER!

    Perfect houseboat experience

    Our first time on a houseboat, and we really loved it. Very clean and modern, with all the amenities needed. Easy to catch the bus into town. Amazing views on local bike ride. Would stay again.

    A wonderful accommodation

    We loved our stay in the house boat. Just around the corner from a bus stop which took us directly to Amsterdam. The house boat was large and gave us plenty of room to spread out. The court yard gave us a lovely space to enjoy the sunshine. We enjoyed being just a short ride to the supermarket, Zanse Scans and restaurants. Having access to the push bikes and the little boat was the icing on the cake for our time. Highly recommend this wonderful accommodation.

    Nice holidayShow original

    Hello. The houseboat was simply fantastic. We received a friendly welcome upon arrival. It was spotless throughout. The size of the houseboat was also perfect for four people. The surrounding area is easy to explore. I can and will recommend this houseboat to anyone who wants to book something like this.

    Houseboat was very niceShow original

    The houseboat was very nice, very well maintained and is located right on a street, the parking lot is just across the street within walking distance. Bed linen, towels, a nice kitchen with everything you need and a large fridge are available, perfect. Amsterdam is very easy to reach by car, due to my disability we didn't try public transport, but the train station/bus stop is very easy to reach and close by.

    Communication with Anouk was great, she reacted very quickly to questions and answered very detailed and friendly, top! The electric motorboat is also very nice, you can use it to explore the surrounding area. All in all, the houseboat is highly recommended and a special experience, for example in the morning you are greeted by swans and ducks at the large window! The only thing is that the nearby road is sometimes quite busy, but that doesn't bother you at night, for example, we slept really well. Best wishes Philipp
