Sunny houseboat near Amsterdam & windmills!

Our lovely houseboat is only 22 min from Amsterdam Centre! Go by car, by train and bike or by direct bus (that stops around the corner)! The world famous windmills are 5 min by (free!) bike or go there with our motorboat in 20 min! Discover the beautiful countryside and nature area around the houseboat, visit Amsterdam and relax afterwards on the water terrace or in the sunny garden! And across the road is my favourite restaurant!

Free bikes (also for kids), motorboat costs only 25 euro for your stay.

The houseboat
Very close to Amsterdam Centre you can enjoy living on the water in beautiful surroundings! Enjoy the fantastic views over the water from every room, feed ducks and swans from the living room windows and relax on the sunny water terrace or in the sunny garden! The location is great, very close to Amsterdam and the world famous Zaanse Schans windmills and across the road is the beautiful Dutch countryside. The ideal base to explore the area and afterwards come back to relax in our sunny garden or on the water terrace!

Take the free bikes out to explore the area and take our motorboat to visit the windmills from the water and go into the beautiful nature area (1 minute), which is a typical Dutch wetland / polder area! (The motorboat costs 25 euro for your whole stay!)
