Houseboat Hamburg centre with canoe instead apartment with garden: pets-friendly
One of the 10 winners of a houseboat - architectural competition of the city of Hamburg is the Peissnitz: A historic barge according to modern standards converted to high-class accommodation. A floating detached house in the middle of the city, with fixed inlet water, sewage, electricity and media. With lush windows overlooking the nature of the renovated Eilbekkanals, a wall-sized double glass door to one of the spacious terraces, floor and wall heaters warm in the winter and cool in the summer, more than 70 m2 terraces, from which you swim directly in the canal If you like it warm, you can enjoy the Rainfall shower in the glass Artweger complex in the Peissnitz spa. Overall, sleeps 8 in 4 rooms offer variations for the night: The cozy bunk bed in the cabin with 2 children or Adults beds each with its own porthole and fresh air, the bedroom with a 160 cm wide box spring bed and 125 cm TV, library with sofa bed which can be extracted (with slats) for two to 140 cm width, the salon with a second 125 cm TV whose sofa bed can be extended to 140 cm. Even in the kitchen could anyone still resting on the couch.
In Hamburg there is a housing shortage and the misappropriation of housing for tourism purposes is being pursued. In order to avoid fines for holidaymakers and landlords, the rental must be approved for each apartment and their proof a housing protection number will be awarded. Only with such a number may an apartment be rented as an apartment during an approved period. The Peissnitz, however, is a houseboat that is not subject to the Hamburg Housing Protection Act. It needs no housing protection number and does not lead either. Your stay is therefore completely legal, throughout the year, the Peissnitz may be rented. However, the tourism tax (bed tax) demanded in Hamburg is levied by all our overnight guests and is already included in our prices.
On the Peissnitz there fast VDSL Internet, more than 100 television programs on both 125cm TVs that can also be used for the internet, and telephone with free national calls (landline and mobile networks). You can call there can, of course, about the Hamburger landline number or a mailbox discuss your needs. A desk with fax connection and fax machine also allows for professional activities, even meetings, presentations in front of a small audience are easily feasible, on request, we like to extend the seating by up to 20 chairs (with armrests). In conjunction with additional tables, this also allows private or business festivities in small groups. Further equipment requirements (eg. As Screen, projector, overhead projector, printer, etc., we will gladly try to comply).
For shopping, no car is needed. Two modern supermarkets offer 800 meters in Holstein Kamp a complete range of daily food. Exotic foods can be found in the corresponding distance in the numerous small international specialty shops Wandsbeker Chaussee. This also only 500 meters away shopping center Hamburger Meile was modernized for more than 200 million euros and transformed. With a total length of approximately 600 meters, it is one of the longest and most beautiful shopping malls throughout Europe. The center has more than 150 specialty shops, cafes and restaurants, including Aldi, REWE and Budnikowski - a Hamburg drugstore chain
There is a lockable garage for a wheelchair or bicycles right at the entrance to the Peißnitz, on the shore strip belonging to it. Right next to the 100-year-old investor the Alsterdampfer was exposed again and can accommodate a small patio with views of the canal and the Peißnitz.
In less than 300 meters away there are two stations of the Hamburg 'StadtRAD-Systems'- where you can borrow register once for a small fee or even free bicycles and return one of the other numerous stations in Hamburg again.
Sports activities can be taken directly from the Peißnitz from several forms of attack. Friends of fishing can throw their own fishing rod from the terrace. Also the water sportsmen have not: At the rear of the Peißnitz is their own football Mooring for cars (max 6 m long.) To exercise all forms of permissible in Hamburg water sports. From here you can use the two canoes that you can also rent, paddle, row or even fix your own, brought Segeljolle the Alster. According to friends of jogging can start right at the Peißnitz, it is still at a very popular jogging circuit running along the Eilbek channel.
A residential property located in the middle of the city always raises the question of traffic noise: Richardstrasse has no function as a thoroughfare and has only minor vehicle traffic with almost no lorries. The Uferstraße is a bicycle lane and only available for residents. The Wagnerstrasse and the Lerchenfeld are far enough away to not be disturbed by noise pollution. Beyond the Richardstrassen bridge behind the nearest houses, a sophisticated urban development is currently under construction, and the banks of the Eilbek canal are being renovated. Opposite the Peissnitz provisional berths for the neighboring houseboats are set up, soon there will be two other houseboats. Even construction noise can not be excluded during normal working hours. The construction site of the sewer rehabilitation is expected to be located directly on the Peissnitz from January 2020. Therefore, the rental of Peissnitz is terminated at this time. But even before it can come during normal working hours to harassment by construction noise of the water construction site. The lush outer surfaces of the Peißnitz can still be enjoyed - just as big city dwellers are used to the heartbeat of a city and the typical background noise. At least our previous guests say so. In the living rooms no external noise can be heard. So perfectly does the insulation with the windows closed. Even with living room ventilation with fresh air from outside.

Beautiful, modern finishes. Complete workable kitchen even a dishwasher!Large spacious bathroom and several sitting rooms. Comfortable bed. Green, private space in the middle of Hamburg.
Absolutely fantastic craftmanship of a boat in a beautiful scenery, with practical solutions and facilities. Henning's (host) kind personality, and the story of how they built this house boat made our stay here exceptional and truly inspirational.
This is a very convenient place to stay in Hamburg and it adds a very pleasant change to being in a big city. The metro stations are close and after eating in the city you can retire to the calm of your river house.
The houseboat is amazing. Lots of space for everyone. Very very clean, great kitchen appliances. The location is perfect. The hosts were very friendly, amazingly helpful. It is the best (out of 100’s) stay we have ever had!!!We will come back and recommend to all our friends.
We felt very welcome at the houseboat. Extra special features included a fruit basket, flowers on the tables, and all needs met that people have when travelling. There was a wonderful deck, easy transportation, adequate cooking facilities and all you need for duck feeding!
Peissnitz hausbout was a truly fabulous experience. Plenty of beds, living space, well appointed kitchen and bathroom, outdoor decks all made it a relaxed and comfortable stay. The wildlife on the canal - ducks, swans, otter, swimmers, canoeists and rowers all made it a fun place but quiet and private. Can’t wait to stay again. Herring was delightful and helpful making booking, arrival and departure process easy too.
We've had a wunderful time at the houseboat Peissnitz. Bedrooms and toilet bath on lower area, well-equipped kitchen and lounge, on upper level.There are several spots on the boat, to sit and enjoy weather, water and the birds.We also used the kanoes, really nice to have that possibility, on our vacation.The houseboat is set at a prfect place, easy to get around in Hamburg
This property has been lovingly restored as a fantastic property to stay in Hamburg. The accommodation was spotless and fully equipped. It is close to public transport, shopping, food and drink places. Ideal for a relaxing stay, warm and comfortable accommodation. If you are looking for accommodation which is a bit unusual, this is one for you.
There were eight of us that stayed very comfortably in the houseboat. We had an excellent time, taking out the canoes and exploring the canals leading to a pretty lake that was fun to fish in the neighborhood was beautiful and walkable and public transportation was very close we would highly recommend this and stay there again. It was a beautiful experience.
We had a lovely stay in Hamburg and really enjoyed staying on the Peisssnitz! It is very clean and the design is very modern. It has everything you need and it is close to public transportation to go out and enjoy the city. One thing that should be obvious but I didn't think of before arriving: the boat does move a little bit because it's on the water and when it is windy.
From the moment we stepped onto the houseboat, we knew we were in for a treat! Our stay was nothing short of extraordinary, and I can't recommend this experience highly enough.
The houseboat itself was immaculate and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was fully equipped and the cosy living areas and bedrooms. The hosts had thoughtfully provided all the essentials, from cookware to cozy blankets for cooler evenings.
Speaking of the Henning, our host, he was welcoming, and incredibly attentive. His hospitality was genuine and heartfelt, making our stay even more memorable.
The location was ideal- with local shops for food and just a short hop on the train into central Hamburg.
If you're looking for a unique getaway, that’s something different from staying in a hotel or renting an apartment, this houseboat is the perfect choice.
If we only knew how wonderful this place was, we would have stayed longer. The houseboat is spacious, the kitchen is modern and well-equipped, and the amenities are thoughtful. We highly recommend the houseboat
Our family of five stayed here comfortably. It was relaxing waking up with the birds chirping on the nearby trees and the swans swimming by in the canal. The kitchen and the eating area was big enough to enjoy a large family meal. And the large outdoor space offered opportunities to enjoy a morning coffee or a meal al fresco. The bedrooms and sleeping areas were spacious.
The houseboat is located near two train stops allowing easy access to different parts of Hamburg. And the houseboat is also close to a shopping center with a two grocery stores and bakery.
Hamburg is a wonderful city and worth a return visit; our visit was made all the better by staying in the houseboat.
We had a wonderful week at the houseboat and Henning is such a wonderful host. Upon arrival, Henning met our family of 4 in person and share the story about the houseboat and went theough all the details about the boat. The houseboat is surprisingly spacious for our family of four, it was designed with heart and got so many cool features. Maintainence was topnotch and everything functions really well. It is also surprisingly well stocked with all things you might need, there was even a meat slicer machine in the kitchen! All other supplies were more than plenty,
very appreciate the thoughtfulness. We were in Hamburg for our kid's soccer tournament, convenient location and having a washer/dryer in the houseboat are the major reasons we booked it. But we got way more than what we expected, we got to feed the swans right outside of the window, got to row the boat down to the lake everyday and got to enjoy family time together after a busy day of soccer games. Henning is so nice to make this cool house available for others, we would definitely want to stay here again next time we are in Hamburg! Thank you Henning!
Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt. Der Check-In und die Kommunikation zur Anreise und auch danach waren super einfach und sehr freundlich sowie hilfsbereit. Die Lage des Hausbootes ist hervorragend und einen Aufenthalt wert! Wir kommen bestimmt wieder. Vielen Dank an die lieben Gastgeber!
Das Hausboot hat eine ganz besondere Atmosphäre. Es war perfekt ausgestattet, mit einer modernen Küche. Die Besitzer sind super freundlich und jederzeit mit Rat und Tat erreichbar.Wir waren über Weihnachten auf dem Boot und kommen jederzeit gerne wieder
Aussergewöhnliches, super schönes und sauberes Hausboot!! 10 Sterne!! Mit viel Liebe eingerichtet und an ruhiger Lage, zentral gelegen. Sehr gerne wieder :-)
Hausboot auch für Kinder geeignet. Super eingerichtet und ruhig gelegen.Freundliche Aufnahme beim einchecken.Sehr gute Anbindung zu allen sehenswerten und zur Innenstadt. Einfach super!
Alles war super! Die guten Erklärungen, wie alles funktioniert, die freundlichen Hosten, die bequeme Küche. Tolle Erfahrung, ich kann nur empfehlen und hoffe zurückzukehren.
Die Gastgeber waren freundlich und zuvorkommend Die Lage des Hausbootes ist einzigartig beim betreten fühl es sich sofort nach Urlaub außerdem ist es für die Lage vor Ort wirklich ruhig
Die Peissnitz ist sehr liebevoll und gemütlich eingerichtet und mit allem notwendigen ausgestattet. Die Lage am Kanal ist sehr schön naturnah und ruhig und trotzdem ist die Innenstadt in wenigen Minuten mit der U-Bahn zu erreichen. Wir waren zu 5. aber es wäre auch noch gut Platz für ein paar Leute mehr gewesen. Uns hat sehr gefallen dass man direkt vom Boot mit dem Kanu in Richtung Alster losfahren kann.Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt, wir kommen gerne wieder.
