Lovely houseboat

The houseboat was in a great location for us - really easy to get the bus into Amsterdam, but quiet and near to the countryside. The bikes made it easy to see the windmills and explore the nature reserve nearby. Check in was easy and all communication was friendly and helpful. We wanted a good base where we could explore more than just the city. There’s a good supermarket a short walk away, so it was easy for us to self-cater. We loved our stay!

Calm Waters

Light and relaxation. Close to many amenities and transportation, but yet in a world of its own. My family of four was comfortable and loved the stay. The bikes and the boat added to the relaxing experience .Anouk communicated well and gave clear directions.

Outstanding Property & Host!

The property was excellent, exactly as described on the VRBO site. We made use of the bicycles, included in the price, and thoroughly enjoyed riding around the area! The welcome treats were a nice touch to our arrival. The host was nothing less than outstanding; she responded to our messages promptly and accurately. Beyond that, she graciously accommodated a specific special request that we had; that meant a lot to us! Thank you so much!

We really enjoyed our stay on the houseboat. The place itself was great and we had plenty of space for our family of 4. The location was close to the windmills and we used the included bikes and boat to view them. The host was very responsive with any inquiries we had. The only issue we had was with the boat running out of battery power on the way back from the windmills, so we had to paddle. The host reached out and resolved it quickly. An added perk was the restaurant across the road which had awesome food. We would definitely stay again

A taste of country life

The houseboat was immaculate and the host was super helpful. Anouk sent helpful tips via email about how to best explore the area. The bikes and optional boat were in great condition and really allowed us to have an immersive experience. The notebook that Anouk left on the table was super helpful and was better structured than many travel guides I've bought in the past. The restaurant recommendations were also spot on and overall it was the best accommodations I've ever enjoyed while travelling. Thank you so much!

Family Trip

We really enjoyed our stay. 2 Adults and 2 children (11&9). Location is outside of the city center but it was good to be near the windmills, have the use of the boat and the bikes which we would not have had if we had been in the city center. Children really liked staying on the houseboat. We bought food from the Dekemart and ate at Het Heerenhuis twice which was very good. Uses Uber and the bus to get around as well as the bikes. Good communication with the host and they dealt with the only issue we had quickly (heating control was not working).

Lovely stay!

We had a lovely stay at the houseboat! The place is in a great location and not far from the airport (we came by car). The houseboat is very spacious and clean, and has lovely views over the water. It’s decorated nicely and is a peaceful, calm place to stay for a break! The gift left on the table was a lovely touch that we really appreciated :). We went on the boat to the windmills and went for dinner at Het Heerenhuis just literally across the road which is lovely too, very cosy after an afternoon on the water. The bed is like sleeping on a cloud! Very comfy! Anouk has the best communication of probably any place I’ve ever booked and is very kind and helpful should you need any assistance. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Fabulous houseboat, excellent stay!

We loved staying on the houseboat! The beautiful view over the water made us wake up with a smile very morning! The location near the windmills and restaurants is fantastic, and getting into Amsterdam is easy and convenient. What we loved best was taking the motorboat out to the windmills, that is a once in a lifetime experience! And we loved touring by bike and exploring the area, it's beautiful! The houseboat is very clean and nicely furnished with everything we needed. We especially appreciated the extensive information book that provided tons of information on places to go, things to see, where to eat and shop, etc. Communication was excellent, Anouk is a fantastic host. We'd love to come back some day! Thank you Anouk!

Chillig auf dem Wasser

Wir hatten eine relaxte Zeit auf dem Boot. Es ist ein super Ausgangspunkt für die City oder auch für den Strand (30 Minuten). Mit den Fahrrädern kann man gut zum Freiluftmuseum fahren und sich die Windmühlen anschauen

Heerlijk weekend met vrienden

We hebben een erg leuk weekend gehad op de boot van Anouk. We hadden een paar dagen regen en konden daardoor noch fietsen, noch varen, maar de boot biedt genoeg gezelligheid om daar prettig te verblijven. Het Heerenhuis aan de overkant is heel leuk om te eten. Vanuit Wormerveer (leuk Grieks restaurant vlakbij station!) is er een prima treinverbinding naar Amsterdam! Het contact met Anouk was steeds fijn; betrokken, helpend en meedenkend.
