Houseboat holiday rentals in Netherlands

We were thrilled with the place, Lots of equipment for kitchen, hygiene and pastime! (Books, DVDS real.) Very cozy furniture and cozy atmosphere as described. If you have any questions, Raoul will respond quickly!

I cannot recommend this boat enough. I wish I was back there right now! What a lovely surprise that it's even better than the photos. Extremely clean, excellent finish, very unique and an overall beautiful space. Location is lovely, a short walk to everything and easy tram access if you don't feel like walking. Leaving the best till last... Sietske is a wonderful and kind host. She couldn't do enough for us and made us feel extremely welcome. Thank you so much for helping make a big birthday even more special!!

We absolutely loved our stay at Anouk’s place. It was extremely comfortable for 4 people and had a wonderful living space that felt comfortable and homely. We loved having access to the bikes and despite having inclement weather it was an easy ride to the wonderful Zaanse Schans and the old windmills. Quintessential Amsterdam! The jewel on the crown was when the rain finally stopped, we were able to experience the stunning canal view from the moored boat at the back. Unfortunately the weather hadn’t permitted us to use the boat to explore the other canals but it is definitely something we would love to do on a future visit. Anouk was fabulous at communicating and left comprehensive information for us to make the most of the area. We loved dining at her favourite restaurant and probably made our mark as we were leaving! (Another story!) Ha! We definitely caught the spirit of the place! Could not recommend this highly enough. Thanks for a fabulous stay 🙏🏽❤️

Wow. Pictures do not do this property justice. What a wonderful place to spend a few days!!

Hanco’s house boat was just perfect for our stay. The location was perfect and we could easily walk to everything that we wanted to see, and there was a fantastic supermarket (Ekoplaza) and cafe deli (Stach) a 5 min walk away. We also enjoyed watching the coots and their chicks in a nest right outside the window! Hanco was incredibly helpful and responsive, and kindly put a travel cot up for our arrival.

A beautiful and serene place on the river, minutes walk from Arnhem city center. Marco kindly welcomed me to his houseboat – such a unique and comfortable place to stay! Spotlessly clean, cosy, comfy bed/bedding, quiet and peaceful, a slice of nature so close to the center but away from the noise. Nice walks along the river. A good night’s sleep. This is a gem of a place hosted by good people. Highly recommended.

Lovingly designed boat and cottage. A beautiful place for paddlers and nature lovers.

Great space, great host! Hadewych was so responsive and helpful. I just loved the charm of the boat, it was a really neat experience! The bed was SO comfortable, I slept wonderfully. I do wish the couch was more comfortable though, was not conducive to getting comfy after a long day out exploring. It is an older boat so smells a bit musty and a few cobwebs in the chandelier, but you are able to open the windows and get the fresh air in which is very nice. Kitchen was well equipped, just didn't have a freezer which I wanted to store ice and ice cream etc. Had a problem with the pump but Hadewych was quick to remedy the situation. The location was superb - there was a fantastic grocery right around the corner (the produce is delicious!!), a lot of restaurants, cafes, etc. Overall a really great experience that I will cherish!

We had a great stay at Michael’s place, it was a beautiful house boat in a very peaceful quiet location. It was a good distance to walk to the free boat that runs to Amsterdam central. There was a free bottle of Prosecco in the apartment and Michael even bought us a second and some chocolate for a miscommunication on the first night. The bed was comfy and everything was spotlessly clean. We would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely brilliant houseboat. Super nicely decorated - very modern - equipped with everything you need. It was sparkling clean and cozy. We felt completely comfortable and enjoyed the life on the houseboat very much (a great experience). The boat includes a sup, which we tried despite the season. In and around the boat is very quiet and yet you are almost in the middle of it - it is only a few meters to the actual place. Really great: the supermarket is right across the street. Anita and Diedert are great and very attentive hosts, whom we did not meet in person but the communication with them was excellent. We would love to come again.

We were so lucky to be able to stay in such a beautiful place! The beds were comfy, the surroundings were peaceful and beautiful... it was a lovely escape from the busy, city-center. We LOVED the use of the kitchen and the deck just off the kitchen. Hein was so good to have bikes available for us. There is little available directly near the home but a 10 minute bike ride along the lovely road and over the bridge gets you to all you could want. We were sad to leave our Amsterdam home and will hope Hein's home is available when we return.

We really enjoyed it. The surroundings are quiet and fantastically beautiful. The little cottage is something special. It was well equipped. We felt comfortable.

The place was very clean and equipped with everything you need. You don't need to bring anything. Everything is there. Check-in was completely hassle-free because Patrick the manager was easily accessible, very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our time very much and would come back again. A little tip to all anglers. Take fishing rods with you ! Out of 10 we will 🌟 award 11 . Thanks for the wonderful time

Fern’s houseboat was AMAZING! Hands down my favorite Airbnb ever. Interior was beautiful and well kept. Location was close to so many shops, restaurants and the tram. Fern was very helpful and always responsive. Pepper was easily my favorite part of the stay though 😊 🐈‍⬛ ❤️

Everything worked smoothly from booking to departure. The place was very clean and well maintained. Communication with Frauke and Patrick was very straightforward, friendly and helpful. A great opportunity was to rent the motorboat directly on the houseboat – a great opportunity to explore the surroundings from the water. We will be happy to come back! ChatGPT can make mistakes.

Our stay at Claire’s place was nothing short of magical. The location is hard to beat in the heart of Jordaan, steps away from great Dutch cafes, every restaurant we ate at was within a ten minute walk, every one was fantastic. As well as minutes walk from transit. Somehow though being in the middle of everything, being on the water in this houseboat makes you feel like you’re in your own private oasis. Claire has great taste, her home is designed impeccably, with one of the major highlights being the record player, listening to classics like the Beatles, Bowie, The Doors while sitting on the back porch taking in the incredible view of the canal. Bonus was the most efficient washer dryer I used during my 3 week stay in Europe and the large dishwasher. Had we stayed longer, we would have cooked, there was a fully stocked Chefs kitchen. Thanks for the perfect end to our adventure!

I was 100% satisfied with the houseboat from tamara. The only thing I wasn't entirely satisfied with was the booking via Airbnb: I had entered free cancellation in the search options, among other things. However, the free cancellation was only valid for 24 hours after the booking. I wasn't so familiar with that and I find it a little borderline!

Very cozy houseboat with extensive amenities, uncomplicated use of a skiff to explore the beautiful lake area. Very nice hosts. Town with shopping and some restaurants a few km away. A wonderful short break.

Such a peaceful place to be on the water. Walking to the Bakkerij De 7 Heerlijkheden for cakes every day was a real treat too! Thanks Ronald and Sophia.

Stunning boat with numerous amenities/ gems. Truly enjoyed it. Will absolutely be back!

We had a great time staying at the houseboat. It‘s a fun experience to be right on the water, and centrally located to many of the city’s destinations!

Thank you for your great hosting , it was a good short trip for us but we are very happy.

Wonderful weekend spent on the Karma. Recommended. Clean and a very nice location to be. The stove did not work properly, (flame kept going out) but after some perseverance and sliding with the pits, it worked fine. We also missed a cheese slicer and some dish soap. That was the only thing, otherwise excellent. There were fresh eggs ready at hatching, clean bedding and towels. Totally super. 😊

It’s no surprise that this is booked solid. I’m not sure how we found two nights available but I’m so glad!!! I would live here! Spacious, comfortable, charming. Love the neighborhood!! Don’t wait to grab the availability if it’s there. You will not regret it.
