Houseboat under the Mill
Nieuwpoortkade 6, Amsterdam 1055 RX

For a truly unique and peaceful experience enjoy a stay in this well equipped Amsterdam houseboat, set in a peaceful location to the north-west of the city with some beautiful views over the water.

Imagine waking up in the morning with the sun shining and the reflection of the canal water rippling on your bedroom ceiling. From the window of the houseboat you can feed the ducks and swans as you take in views of one of Amsterdam’s 2 large windmills. Take a walk along the canal with the edge of the city centre about a 20 minute walk away. On your way you will pass through some of the most picturesque areas of Amsterdam including the Westerpark and the Jordaan.

Near to the houseboat there are plenty of cheap parking spaces and public transport links to the city centre.

Rooms : 1.
