IRENE – a retreat made of wood, light and water for the cold season. Gently rocking on the Dove Elbe, a place for two to four guests looking for tranquility, nature and a feel-good atmosphere. Floor-to-ceiling windows let the wintry shore in, the fireplace flickers softly, and at night you can admire the starry sky from the 1.60 m wide bed. On the roof terrace you can enjoy clear winter sun – a houseboat that warms the heart and soul.

The space
The IRENE is a place where wood, light and water merge and give you a little break from everyday life. Two to four guests can comfortably fit in the 23 m² living space: the 1.60 m wide bed on the sleeping level invites you to dream, the sofa bed offers additional comfort.

The living area is a place of warmth and coziness, with a tailor-made kitchenette that has everything ready for cooking and a small shower room. Floor-to-ceiling windows let in a lot of light and give a view of the glittering water that flows gently along the boat.

The small terrace right on the boat invites you to have breakfast, read or relax on the Süderelbe. On the roof terrace with lounge and sun loungers you can soak up the sun, enjoy the summer or watch the stars in the evening under the open sky. Wi-Fi is available free of charge, pets are welcome by arrangement.

On the IRENE, design, comfort and nature merge into an unforgettable summer experience – a place where you can slow down, feel nature and experience special moments on the water.


Please note: This tiny houseboat has an eco-friendly dry separation toilet. At the back there is a container for toilet paper and solid waste. After use, you throw sawdust into it. In the front, all liquids flow off and into the wastewater tank of the houseboat. The toilet is comparable to a compost toilet.

Other things to note
The grounds, the jetty and the boat are not accessible.

The water on board is not drinking water. Bring drinking water or use the drinking water tap at the jetty.

Please keep the showers short because the grounds are not connected to the public sewage network. (There is a pit that is pumped out regularly.)

You can sleep on the sofa; it is folded out 1.40 m wide, so suitable for 2 persons. So you can stay with 1-4 people on the boat; depending on how much you want to cuddle, as a family with smaller children, for example, also with five people (if three are sleeping in the large bed). (Please always register everyone.)

In the courtyard, which takes you to the dock with the boats, high-quality wooden houseboats are built in handcrafted and according to ecological standards. On the grounds you often meet roommates and boat-loving people. Sometimes building noises can be heard. The surroundings are very green, yet it is still Hamburg; nearby is a railway bridge that is more or less noticeable depending on the direction of the wind. (Most of them don't mind the noise.)

My work: Eco houseboat construction
Speaks German and English
We rent houseboats and well-developed lifeboats in Hamburg. Most of our houseboats were handcrafted right here on site by ecological standards. Each (house)boat has a different owner, on whose behalf we organize the rental; and so each (house)boat is individually equipped and furnished. Choose your favorite boat for a very special stay right on the water!
