About this property

Our unique houseboat with 3 bedrooms and a large garden is located at a lovely island close to the centre of Amsterdam (12 min by train) and the famous Zaanse Schans! Ideal to enjoy a relaxed holiday and be so close to all the famous attractions!

The space
This unique houseboat is located at a small island near all the famous tourist attractions (such as the Zaanse Schans and Amsterdam city centre). Due to the central location and nearness of a train station, the houseboat is an excellent start to explore the area.

The houseboat is very spacious and bright (6 people can stay here very comfortably), has a very large and sunny garden and a sunny floating terrace (both private).

There is a beautiful nature conservation area close by (at only 2 minutes walking distance, which is also accessible by boat or canoe).

Enjoying your holiday at this houseboat will be a truly unique experience! We are sure that you will be very comfortable and will feel at home when you stay here!

Guest access
The houseboat has a large and sunny living room. It has large windows on either side, which provide a view to the private garden on one side, and the canal on the other.

The spacious and fully equipped kitchen (including a dish washer) adjoins the living room. There are three bedrooms. The master bedroom is located downstairs (which is below the water level, a unique experience in itself). The second bedroom is located upstairs, and is a bright and comfortable room with a view on the canal. The third bedroom has a lovely view at the garden, and a door which leads to the floating terrace. There are 2 double beds and 2 single beds present. If needed, a third single bed can be arranged for (if so, please contact me before you make your reservation).

You can enjoy a private bathroom with a luxurious shower (steam bath, water jets, etc.). There is also a separate toilet.

There are a washing and drying machine available.
A large TV (42 inch) and free WIFI are available.

Interaction with guests
We truly believe staying at our houseboat will be a unique experience! We are very happy to explain to you the nicest places to go to, and help you on your way. We want to make your stay a lovely experience. We are sure you will feel at home, and if there are any requests, feel free to ask.

We have bikes which can be used at a compensation of 10 euros per bike for your total stay.
We have two canoes and a small boat, which can be used at a compensation of 10 euros for your total stay each.

Family holiday in a houseboat

We enjoyed our stay in this cosy houseboat with its nice garden, boat and bicycles. There is a very helpful folder with recommendations for cafés/restaurants as well as suggestions for sightseeing tours close-by etc. Communication with Anouk was very easy. I can highly recommend this little juwel of a houseboat.

Perfect Vacation!!

The houseboat was such a treat! We loved the views from the living room of the canal and garden with lots of wildlife! The floating patio was fun and we enjoyed taking the little electric boat out to the nature preserve for gorgeous sunsets and windmills!! It was a struggle to ride the bikes to Amsterdam, but we are glad we did! Our host was wonderful!! Highly recommend!!

From start to finish, we loved this property and location. It is beautiful as shown in pictures with a lovely yard on one side and delightful canal on the other. Anouk is a dream to work with and so considerate and responsive. We enjoyed the bikes and and the electric boat. The entire experience was relaxing and unique. We will be back!!!

A lovely and unique experience

It’s impossible to overstate what a wonderful and unique property this is, it felt like a once in a lifetime experience! The docked boat on the canal was an added bonus for drinks and views! If you are arriving by taxi I would recommend directing them to the nearby parking lot as ours had some trouble, but directing subsequent drivers to the parking lot was extremely easy. (Tip: use Bolt instead of Uber) Anouk is an absolutely wonderful host - responsive and left extremely detailed instructions. I highly recommend taking one of the bikes to the nearby windmills. Our only regret it that we couldn’t stay longer! Pictures do not do the location or property justice. Thank you Anouk for an unforgettable stay! ❤️
