Houseboat description

We promise you a great sense of freedom, with amazing views over the Zaan River and the famous Dutch clouds, that inspired Rembrandt to create his amazing paintings, drifting by. Yet you're in the buzz of Amsterdam in just 20 minutes by car and less than 30 minutes by public transport. 

The houseboat is spacious and really offers anything you might need during your stay, and more. We host up to four guests to ensure you have all the space you might possibly want. The fully equipped open kitchen enables you to cook a great diner. Both bedrooms have an own bathroom and toilet, so no need to share with the rest of your party. And what better place is there to enjoy your breakfast than the wheelhouse with great panoramic views over the water. 

With good weather you can use two outside terraces to enjoy the sun. During the colder months the fire place is a great plus, especially with the comfortable couch to snuggle up. You have a private entrance to the houseboat apartment and we offer parking options as well. We live on the same boat, so we're there if you have any questions, yet full privacy during your stay is ensured.

    We were welcomed very nicely and benevolently at the time of our arrival and felt very comfortable in the two days. The hostess was extremely nice and provided us with everything we needed. Gladly again!

    The houseboat is very quiet, generously and comfortably furnished. A dream destination in summer. Unfortunately we had a bad time, it was rainy and cold. Accordingly, it was also very uncomfortable and cold in the houseboat. The infrared heaters didn't bring any heat into the rooms. The landlords tried very hard and brought us 3 electric heaters, but even they didn't manage to produce a cozy warmth. When there was still no water on board, we left 1 day earlier than planned. Oh yes, we also found out that the toaster is broken and the fridge doesn't cool.

    Quirky and wonderful houseboat!

    We stayed for 10 nights and had a fantastic time! The boat is surprisingly roomy with a big living room, two full bathrooms, nice kitchen and even a washer and dryer. The weather was too windy and rainy for us to use the deck as much as we would have liked but the enclosed captain's cabin upstairs let us enjoy the river view even in stormy times. The boat is moored on the river, just a short walk from historic Zaanse Schans with the amazing windmills and the scent of cocoa in the air. It was great to be able to explore the mill area in early mornings and late evenings when there were almost no other tourists around. The hosts had bikes we could borrow each day to go exploring and Joyce delivered a lovely basket breakfast our first morning there. The noise of the grinder toilets and non-potable tap water took some getting used to, since we had never stayed on a boat like that before, but it was easy to get fresh drinking water at an outdoor spigot and we thought that the operational old iron port hole windows were really cool. We highly recommend this houseboat and the hosts. The price was very reasonable, too.

    boat experience Show original

    Charmingly located boat, ideal for a few relaxing days. Thanks to the bicycles available, it is easy to shop, eat out and explore the surrounding area, even without a car. The nice landlady is very helpful and makes arriving and living easy. The icing on the cake would be a more balanced kitchen equipment. Thanks!!
