Woonark Gaudi aan de Rijn for 2 people Arnhem

RamonRating, 5 stars3 days ago

Years ago, I had turned my back on AirBnB. Due to bad experiences. But recently I thought I'd have to give it another try anyway. Couldn't have picked a better place than Fred's. It's not a typical place. On the contrary, no corner is straight. Clearly inspired by Gaudi. We slept wonderfully there, nothing is missing. Our dog also loved it. Every morning look at the ducks, geese and futen that swim by in front of the houseboat. Thank you Fred!

A private terrace is visible, featuring two stylish chairs. In the background, a calm harbor is seen with various boats gently bobbing on the water. Reflections of the boats are visible on the surface, and a clear sky complements the scene.

Cosy tiny houseboat near beach and restaurants

Mari JohannaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Very unique and memorable experience. We had a lovely time with our two children and little dog, found everything we needed. Restaurants, shops, and nice walking routes were all within short distance by foot. There was even a swimming beach for dogs! 😊

Houseboot Kingfisher, lake view

FleurRating, 5 stars6 months ago

We had a lovely stay! it was perfect for reading a book, do some cooking, catch up on sleep and enjoy the nature and the rocking of the boat. We did a nice 6km run as well. There are 4 boats next to each other docked to a camping van area. The King Fisher is the most outside one. There were no campervans at that time. There is a nice sauna which you can rent tho! The only thing that was a tiny tiny tiny bit disappointing, was the fact that the bedroom is not overlooking the water view but the neighbouring boat. Supermarket is a 10 minute drive by car. We didn't find restaurants on walking distance except for the campside/harbour next to it. A bike would be handy if you stay longer then 2 days. The free parking availability on the premises is definitely a plus as well. Nice place to regain back your energy!

Boat Boutique; sleep on the canals of Zwolle

SytseRating, 5 stars6 days ago

Beautiful place as good as in the city center of Zwolle. Ilona's boat is very nicely furnished and equipped with every comfort. Everything looked neat too. We have enjoyed the vinyl collection. Location was also great, you walk right into the center of Zwolle. We would definitely come back!

A private terrace features a small table and two matching chairs, set against a backdrop of lush greenery and a view of the river. The wooden deck shows signs of seasonal change with scattered leaves, inviting relaxation by the water.

Meerzeit - Relax and experience a houseboat -

TonnyRating, 5 stars6 days ago

We had a great stay at Bernhard's houseboat in Harderwijk The location is really nice – quiet and peaceful but still close to Amsterdam and other sights. The houseboat is charming, tastefully decorated, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The view of the water from the terrace is simply lovely, especially in the morning and at sunset. Bernhard was an incredibly friendly and welcoming host who made us feel very welcome. He was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to questions.

Luxurious waterloft near beach and centre

4.79 out of 5 average rating, 47 reviews1 week ago

We stayed 2 nights with our son (9 years old) on the houseboat. Check-in was very easy, all important information came on the day of arrival. Inside, it was absolutely spotlessly clean. The place is sufficient for 3 people. Outside, it could be a little more inviting. The chairs on the boat were new, but at dusk a lot of big spiders came out. The bed was very comfortable and soft. The sofa is rather hard, but also comfortable and the view is stunning. The kitchen is very well furnished. Unfortunately, the oven did not work, but it was repaired immediately a day later. My son missed German TV/Netflix. It was advertised in the ad with Netflix. However, it should have been updated by the owner. We didn't think it was bad at all without TV.☺️ The Wi-Fi worked without any problems. The communication was outstanding. Very nice, fast and always friendly. We would come back anytime!

Everything was super great! Thanks very much. Only the decor at the table could be a little less so you can eat there:) Otherwise, everything was really great... The view is everything great with the children. We loved it so much that there were clean towels and toilet paper.. Very dear friendly homeowners

Vacation on the water.

GwenRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We had a lovely time on the houseboat. Amid the birds, it's very well laid out. The road is not far but you can't hear it inside and the view of Kampen is very pretty. It's easy to walk to town. We did not meet Raoul but the organization of the arrival and departure was very smooth. We recommend it.

A modern floating villa is seen moored on a river. The structure features blue trim around large windows and a bright white exterior. A spacious rooftop terrace is visible, surrounded by greenery along the riverbank, creating a serene and inviting environment.

Studio on houseboat Anthonia(22m2)

CraigRating, 5 stars1 week ago

I really enjoyed my time on the houseboat. It is cosy and quite romantic. The only problem I had, was getting in and out of the shower. It is a bit of a tight squeeze and a big drop to the floor. So I hurt myself when using it. Apart from that, no other issues. Marco was available when I arrived at 1am to give me exact directions to the house boat over the phone. so that was good. Nice boat, nice location, nice owner, nice cats. I'd recommend it.

A pathway leading down to the calm water is flanked by lush greenery and trees, creating a serene environment. Two houseboats are visible on the water, with one featuring a deck. The clear blue sky reflects on the tranquil surface of the river.

Cozy living room - sleeping on the water at the Veluwe

DaveRating, 5 stars7 months ago

We had a fantastic stay at Marco's houseboat in September 2024. We had fantastic weather, which was a huge plus for us, and allowed us to take advantage of the veranda area, outside, where we could chill and watch the wildlife on the water. The accomodation is nice and simple, and tastefully decorated. It was comfortable and warm. We didn't need any heating during our stay, but there is a wood pellet heater available. The toilet and shower cubicles are quite small, but as you would expect on a houseboat, and it wasn't a problem for us. Sleeping consists of two compartments, a single berth and a double directly opposite. Both have a curtain for privacy. Both berths were comfortable. The location is about one mile away from the village centre, so about a 20 minute walk, or 5 minutes in the car. Great supermarket there, along with pizza place and other cafes and nice bars. Very chilled place. We loved our stay, and would consider visiting again.

Woonark Ecostay de Parelduiker

JoostRating, 5 stars3 months ago

We had a lovely stay in Raoul and Hester's place. The ark is moored in a quiet side channel of the Ijssel and therefore in extremely calm waters (no bow waves of passing craft). Many ducks, geese, swans and loads of other birds around enjoying the tranquil surroundings, as we did. Despite the out-of-the-way location, it's only a 10min stroll to Kampen - cross the bridge and you're basically right in the heart of the old city. Couple of decent eateries and pubs in a small area. The ark itelf is a little dated but well equipped and feels very homely. If you're going in winter, bring some wood to get that wood stove going and it'll be quite comfy in no-time. Everything works, nice double bed and good shower. Communication with Raoul and his parents-in-law excellent. Can't recommend enough if you're after some peace and tranquility.

Cosy tiny houseboats near center and restaurants

NatalieRating, 5 stars1 week ago

A super nice place to stay. We often have to clean ourselves, this time it was really clean! A little cobwebs and the furniture outside wasn't clean. But what's not bad, these get dirty again quickly anyway. The area was wonderful too. There is a lot to discover and the nearby Hans & Gretje pancake house is also recommended for the little ones. A really nice holiday!

Houseboot Cormorant, lake view

SigridRating, 5 stars8 months ago

We spent very nice and quiet days at Patrizia's. Perfect place on the water, beautiful sunrises, everything you need. Small note: you can no longer return to the boat from the boat into the water on the same way. You have to swim to the nearby jetty - but it's just a matter of convenience :)

A spacious outdoor seating area features a light gray sectional sofa and a matching coffee table, situated on a deck overlooking tranquil waters. Soft clouds drift across a bright sky, contributing to the serene atmosphere of the houseboat.
