About this property

Modern houseboat in quiet harbor close to the IJsselmeer with SUPs and canoe

A day on the houseboat:
wake up refreshed to have an espresso in the morning sun on the front terrace. To kickstart the day jump in the water from the swimming platform. Or paddle around in the canoe (free) or on the SUPs (free). The houseboat has a good bathroom & towels to take a shower afterwards.

The supermarket is around the corner where you can buy freshly baked bread for your breakfast.

Some nice options to do afterwards.
Enjoy a bikeride to the beautiful cities Hindeloopen and Workum (2 bikes for rent). Or the other way past the sluices and via Reade Klif to former fishing village Laaksum.
Go shopping by train in Leeuwarden or Sneek.
The ferry takes you across the IJsselmeer to Enkhuizen.

Enjoy a nice bbq in the garden of the houseboat or use your cooking skills in the kitchen. If you prefer to dine out there are some nice restaurants.

Finish the day by admiring the sunset over the IJsselmeer at the harborlights of Stavoren.

My friend and I had a great time on the boat house. It was our first time staying on a boat house and it didn't disappoint. It was incredibly peaceful. We did paddle boarding and swam. The first night we got there we were surprised to see so many mosquitos but then when we cleared them away and used a citronella candle it was fine. The shower was surprisingly powerful and the beds were super comfy! I had a great nights sleep throughout. It's a lovely place and the area is just beautiful and calming to stay in. We had a car so went around locally too. Your recommendations for local cuisines was really helpful. Great place to stay and highly recommend. We had a really lovely break. We went into Amsterdam Centraal which is one hour and thirty minutes by car. We also did cycling along the coast which was incredible. Lots to do over a long weekend.

The cute house boat is in a calm area, super close to the supermarket, which is perfect. Also, the city center is reachable and within two minutes by foot, also nice restaurants, etc..The boat was super well equipped, and everything was nicely decorated and felt very cozy. There was even an air fryer.Space is a bit tight for clothing, but we worked it out. A washing machine would be great, but there is definitely not no space for that on the boat anymore.Mosquitoes are quite a topic in the evening, so keep the windows closed when the light is on inside. We didn’t try the canoe, but we did standup paddling with the boards that belong to the boat and that was perfect and thanks for giving us the opportunity to use them. There were even also board games to play, as I said very well equipped.We can definitely recommend the house boat. For there is also a lot to do in the area.. even Amsterdam is only one and a half hours drive… we had some nice recommendations from Annette and a very nice welcome. She answered all the questions we had beforehand and was very helpful and nice. Thanks a lot and enjoy your houseboat further!Kind regards Susanne and family

Wonderful Stay!

Perfect houseboat vacation. We loved the boat, ever so slightly swaying at the front of the boat, but couldn't feel it in the beds, made us at home and relaxed. Very clean and appropriately appointed for our needs of eating out or cooking in (grocery store right across the canal, a 2 minute walk). The town is lovely to walk around or bike. We happened to be in town during a June parade and loved the experience. We ate at two local restaurants that were delicious. We enjoyed the kayak and stand up paddleboards in the canals for most of a day (definitely recommend). Can't wait to come back.

Der Aufenthalt auf dem Hausboot war sehr schön. Das Boot ist sauber, alle Informationen sind vorhanden, das Check-in vorbildlich und die Hausherren waren immer erreichbar und gaben freundliche Tipps. Stavoren ist direkt am Ijsselmer und ist ein schönes Städchen mit guter Infrastruktur. Sehr gerne können wir diese Unterkunft empfehlen. Wir waren zwei Wochen dort und es wurde nie langweilig.

Gemütliches Hausboot

Das Hausboot ist sehr liebevoll und gemütlich eingerichtet. Die Lage ist schön ruhig. Der Supermarkt war direkt um die Ecke, was sehr praktisch war. Die Gastgeber sind sehr aufmerksam und haben nette Tipps gegeben! Ein Insektenschutz wäre im Sommer bestimmt gut, das könnte noch verbessert werden.

Hausboot in Stavoren Niederlande

Das Hausboot ist sehr schön, modern, geräumig und verfügt über alles, was man im Kurz Urlaub braucht. Wir haben die 3Tage sehr genossen, weil auch das Wetter gut war (22°-27°) Ein Zusatz waren die 2 Standup Boards und der Supermarkt nebenan. Man brauch nicht kochen, da es viele Restaurants in der Nähe gibt, die im Preis Leistungsverhältnis günstig sind. Im Allgemeinen ist das Haus sehr zu empfehlen, Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt in eurem Hausboot.

Zum Entspannen

Zentral zum Hafen und Supermarkt gelegen, sehr ruhig, abends keine Fenster oder Türen öffnen, da viele Spinnen und Mücken reinkommen, Insektenschutz an den Fenstern wäre sinnvoll.
