Houseboat holiday rentals in Groene Hart

We had a lovely time on Peter's houseboat. The location is great. Only a 15 minute walk to the station and the center yet incredibly peaceful. Everything we needed was available and we enjoyed the first rays of the spring sun on the dock in front of the houseboat. The daily visit from a group of geese was quite the highlight for our little boy. Peter welcomed us when we first arrived and was very accommodating and responsive to our questions. We explored the corners of Utrecht and beyond with the bike and can only recommend this lovely city. So many beautiful historic buildings, lovely canals and quaint little cafes and shops. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.

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 🙏🏽❤️

Wir haben uns mit der ganzen Familie sehr wohl gefühlt auf diesem wunderschönen Hausboot! Marie Louise war sehr hilfsbereit und eine tolle Gastgeberin. Wir kommen gerne wieder. 🥰

evdeki herkes huzur, keyif, mutluluk ve sohbet dolu bir tatil geçirdiler. Çok param olsa o evi isterdim Amsterdam'da. Bir daha umarım geldiğimizde yine Hanco'nun evinde kalabiliriz. Sevgiler.

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.

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!

What a fun experience! And what a terrific host! In a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. To say we got to stay on a houseboat in Amsterdam is always going to be a fun memory! But note, it is definitely a boat. You must be fully able bodied to access the boat and get around comfortably inside. The kitchen is suitable for snacks. And as with most European AirBnBs, bring your own bath products.

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.

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.

Wir haben es wirklich genossen. Die Umgebung ist ruhig und traumhaft schön. Das kleine Häuschen ist etwas besonderes. Es war gut ausgestattet. Haben uns wohl gefühlt.

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 😊 🐈‍⬛ ❤️

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!

Mandy’s place was exactly as described and was really well equipped - the sauna was a great bonus. It was really clean and the surrounding lake was a great place to take a break from the bustle of central Amsterdam, as well as the town of Aalsmeer having everything you need for a relaxing break. 10/10 wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt auf dem Hausboot von Gert! Das Boot ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und an Ausstattung für eigene Verpflegung mangelt es nicht. Super zu finden, auch Dank Gerts präziser Beschreibung. Tolle Aussicht und Ruhe, alles in allem sehr zu empfehlen!

Très bel endroit, situé dans un coin paisible. Un bel endroit pour se reposer.

Wat een heerlijk weekend hebben we gehad in dit huisje! Alles is tot in de puntjes verzorgd en doordacht. Het informatieboekje was super handig en gaf ons direct een gerust gevoel. De woning was netjes, schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. We hebben met het hele gezin ontzettend genoten van de prachtig onderhouden tuin, een perfecte plek om te ontspannen en gezellig te barbecueën. Ook de kinderen hadden het enorm naar hun zin. De hosts zijn ook vriendelijk en behulpzaam, wat ons verblijf extra prettig maakte. Kortom een echte aanrader, we komen hier graag terug!

Das Hausboot ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet, (es fehlt an nichts- eine kleine Einschränkung: Deutsche Fernsehsender waren nicht einstellbar), der Empfang durch die Gastgeber herzlich und die Lage am Wasser (Fluss De Vecht) ist traumhaft. Mit dem Zug von Weesp startend kann man bequem Amsterdam besuchen ! Auch Utrecht ist (mit dem Auto) gut erreichbar! Alles in allem ist das Haus ein sehr empfehlenswertes Reiseziel !!!

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!

We had a fantastic 4 night break here. From the start, excellent communication and a clear advert with great pictures reassured me this was the place for us. The houseboat is brilliant - our children loved going out on the electric boat as well as cycling around the local countryside. We purposely wanted to stay out of the city as a young family, and did have one day in Amsterdam - the bus stop is just outside and super regular service. On the way back we got an uber, which was reasonably priced. It is near a road but that didn't disturb us at all! Thank you Anouk

Fantastische woonboot om te verblijven. Mariëtte had zelfs speelgoed voor onze 2-jarige klaargezet waardoor zij zich ook meteen thuis voelde. Een aanrader!

Had a great time in Amsterdam and loved the quiet and peaceful location of the accommodation. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

Super Aufenthalt, super angenehme Kommunikation mit dem Anbieter, die Unterkunft entsprach genau der Beschreibung (schön, gemütlich, gut ausgestattet).. Danke für die schöne Kurzreise!
