Houseboat summary

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.

    Lovely place and owner

    We were happy to discover our "flat" on a boat. Our boys were thrilled to be allowed to play in the captain's cabin. Our host was really nice, understanding, and willing to offer advice and solutions. The countryside is wonderful, even prettier than what we pictured!

    Great time Show original

    Very nice and helpful hosts. Everything you need is there. Bikes were made available to us free of charge. Breakfast was also brought to us on board. We were completely satisfied. Except for the weather, but of course nobody can do anything about that. Jessica, Silke, Doreen and Roland

    Very charming houseboat, former cargo ship, that's what makes it so special. A quiet place to feel good, every now and then it smells wonderfully of freshly ground cocoa 🤎, which you can then enjoy freshly at the Zaanse Schans mills nearby. 😋 Very dear owners welcome you on the day of arrival and departure with a delicious Dutch breakfast 🧀 en warm brodjes. 👏🏼 Sunset on deck was beautiful, we enjoyed it sooo much. 🥰 Everything you need is there on board, the kitchen is well equipped 💯 thank you very much dear Juul & Peter for these unforgettable days ❤️🤍💙 on your ship. ⛴ We felt very welcome & comfortable! 🥰
