Lovely stay on the water

We had a great stay here. The area is very nice and we really enjoyed walking along the path next to the other house boats. The bed was very comfortable, the space was clean, and the check in process was easy.

Beautiful time in Amsterdam

We had a great longer weekend near Amsterdam. The owner were very friendly and helpful for the start of our staying. The houseboat is perfectly equipped for a couple and very comfortable. With the two bicycles, part of the houseboat, it was very easy to reach city centre

Lovely Waterfront hideaway

We enjoyed a perfect little 2 night stay at the Boathouse after a whirlwind family trip to Italy. It was our first trip to Amsterdam and we are so glad to have found this perfect spot on a canal. Communication was immediate, and we were able to walk easily to the tram to travel all over the city. We plan to return! Thank you!

Das Hausboot ist sehr schön. Man hat einen separaten Eingang. Es ist unvorstellbar schön morgens aufzuwachen und direkt aufs Wasser zu blicken. Wir kommen definitiv gerne nochmal, dann aber bei ein wenig besseren Temperaturen.

Husbåd - en god oplevelse

Vi blev taget godt imod af udlejer, som tilbød at være klar med hjælp uanset hvornår. Fin husbåd med de faciliteter man kan forvente, blandt andet terresse hvor livet på kanalen kunne følges - det var ikke kedeligt. Båden ligger i et gammelt industriområde, men i gåafstand ligger indkøbsmuligheder, restaurant og et torv med forskellige muligheder. Transporten fra tovet - som lå i 10 minutters gang fra husbåden - var nem med sporvogn 2. Det tog 30-40 minutter at komme til centralstationen i Amsterdam. Endags og flerdages billetter kan købes ved stoppestedet. Kan varmt anbefale stedet
