We live a stones throw away from the centre of the beautifull city of Utrecht. Very close to the trainstationa and the city of Amsterdam. In the heart of the Netherlands. Small but very cosy. With a big terrace on the water and a small boat to go into town.

You can get in by car and there are 2 large parking spaces in front of the boat. It is close to the train station and very close to the city centre of the beautifulll lively town of Utrecht.

Notes

the housboat is situated near the centre of Utrecht, so it's no quiet nature resort. But it combines the city attractions with the possibilty to enjoy the serenity of the waterside.
