General overview

Houseboat 2 levels (190m2) with nice expansive views. Very close to city centre in a nice green area with a lot of playing options for kids. All the benefits of a big city but also the benefits of living on the water: swimming, paddleboard, nice balcony on waterside.

The space

Upstairs: Hall with toilet. Big open kitchen with dinner table for 10. Kitchen with a lot of facilities because i love cooking and we love good coffee. Living room on lower part, close to the water with big opening doors and couch. Wide views on the canal. We also have a garden with trampoline. A big loggia to relax and view the canal life. Another room/office/children play room with opening windows to the canal. Downstairs: 1 bathroom with bath and shower and separate toilet. Another smaller bathroom (needs to be finished)with shower and sink and another separate toilet. A storage room with all Technics. 3 kids bedrooms with single beds. 2 extra matrasses available. We can arrange a baby camping bed. Master bedroom with big bed (180x220). We have enough space and if you dont mind sleeping on a airmatrass or camping matrass on the ground you can stay with up to 8-10 people.

Guest access

All the bedrooms are downstairs in the boat, accessable by stairs. Small kids can stay but the stairs are open and we have a lot of big windows opening to the water. Possible with small babies that cannot walk yet, or kids who can swim properly.

Notes

We have 2 Cats Micky and Loekie. THey would love some attention and food in morning and evening. They also have a litter box but hardly use it. The cats are outside a lot and it is not a lot of work. We thank our guests for taking off their shoes entering the house.

Neighbourhood

Next to our garden with trampoline there is a park with nice big trees. A lot of space to play for kids and playground in our street "the Boog"(arch). Also lot of green parks very close by and nice playgrounds for kids. We swim in the canal (our swimmingpool) and have a supboard. Utrecht is a very nice and beautiful city with canals (like Amsterdam but smaller and less tourists). You can reach the citycenter in 20-25 min. by foot and 10 by bike. Also different shops and restaurants within walking distance. Coffee bar/lunch room in front of us across the canal.

Getting to my home

20 min. Walking from central train station and 10 min. from trainstation Vaartse Rijn. Amsterdam = 25. min by train Rotterdam = 45 min. Train/car Utrecht city center = walking 25 min.

Nearest airport

Amsterdam Schiphol (30 min. By train) Rotterdam/the Hague airport (1 hour) Eindhoven (1,5)

Getting around

You can use all our bikes, skates, sup. Bus and trains are close by. Car exchange also an option

We are a family of 5. (50, 45, 10, 11 and 14 years old). We love to travel and have done over 15 exchanges in the last 5 years and we love it😍. We are looking for exchanges during school holidays but also in the weekends within 3 hours drive. We love cooking and good food. Who is up for a unique experience of living on the water? It feels like a holiday every day!
