Houseboat holiday rentals in Wadden Sea

The Black Swan houseboat is truly a special place to stay. Leonora and Erwin have thought of every detail, and the space makes you feel instantly at home. If you are looking for a special place to relax with friends or family, you need to consider a stay at the Black Swan. We would certainly return without hesitation.

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.

We loved our stay at the houseboat the place was exactly as described and Anouk was a pleasure to work with. Would definitely reccomend!

We enjoyed the stay on the houseboat! A wonderful spot on the water with a Superhost! Nice rooms, fun games and plenty to do nearby. We have enjoyed the tranquility in the immediate surroundings of Amsterdam. It was wonderful "coming home" on the ark after a busy day in the city. Marie Louise is very cozy and helpful and always ready to help! Really fantastic!!!@

The accommodation lived up to its promises. The location was beautiful, situated right by the canal. While it’s slightly outside the center of Amsterdam, it remains easily accessible. Karina was a perfect host—always responsive and helpful, providing great recommendations and a booklet with clear instructions. She even allowed us to leave our luggage there before check-in. We would definitely book again.

Beautiful houseboat in a great location and easy access to all of Amsterdam. The houseboat was warm and cosy and perfect for our short stay. Hanco is a great host

The houseboat was something very special, we felt the small waves and had fun with it! The onboard cats welcomed us directly! We would be happy to come back 😸😊

This is a special place to stay. You do not sleep in an old cargo ship all days. In addition, there is a separate room where you can sit and eat, with a kitchen and a toilet/bathroom. Well equipped all. The host and hostess are friendly and very helpful. Surroundings are fantastic. We kwamewn to fish and have gotten very much into us. In short, we had a great stay.

Absolutely brilliant houseboat. Super nicely decorated - very modern - equipped with everything you need. It was sparkling clean and cozy. We felt completely comfortable and enjoyed the life on the houseboat very much (a great experience). The boat includes a sup, which we tried despite the season. In and around the boat is very quiet and yet you are almost in the middle of it - it is only a few meters to the actual place. Really great: the supermarket is right across the street. Anita and Diedert are great and very attentive hosts, whom we did not meet in person but the communication with them was excellent. We would love to come again.

Thank you for the beautiful accommodation! We were able to relax and unwind wonderfully. Exactly what we wanted. In the morning and in the evening it was especially nice to hear the toads in the Wangermeer. The houseboat is equipped with screens around the windows, so spiders have stayed outside the house boat. However, those who are afraid of spiders should know that the spiders are outside on the houseboat. Which is quite normal, in nature. However, the small fluttering sparrows regularly take them away :-) The sunrise over the sea was a treat every morning. We'd love to vacation here again. Best regards, Ulrike, Juliane and Jesse

It was a really nice stay. The kids were thrilled with the surprise that we have a houseboat as a place to stay. This was quietly located, the decor lovingly designed. We felt completely comfortable and had a lot of fun watching the ducks, herons and swans directly from the breakfast table

We really enjoyed the opportunity to stay on a houseboat while in Amsterdam and Fern's home was comfortable and relaxing. It was also nice to see a less touristy side of the city - it's an easy tram ride from the city center. Pepper was quite charming and we were delighted with her presence and the patio was a little oasis. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a more authentic stay.

We had a lovely extended weekend on the houseboat! The location was fantastic – quiet, right on the water, with beautiful views. The boat was very clean, well equipped and cozily furnished, with everything you need. We especially liked the small terrace, perfect for breakfast or the evening. An absolute recommendation for those who want to experience something different and relax! I'm sure we'll be back.

We had an amazing stay at the boathouse. The hosts are responsive and caring, the manager was welcoming and informative. The house was exactly as described and Heeg is a beautiful town!

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!

The houseboat is truly an exceptional place to stay. Modern furnished and tiptop clean. The roof terrace is a real highlight. You can park directly at the jetty, all windows are equipped with screens and the access to the accommodation was easy as pie. We can only recommend the houseboat. Thank you for the lovely stay!

We really enjoyed our one night stay. The place is charming, original and easy to get to. We easily found a good restaurant and Aalsmeer is a very nice place. We enjoyed the welcome booklet prepared by Anne who was very responsive and available. The accommodation was clean and functional. We were welcomed and had a very nice stay! It was a great experience sleeping on the water. To be done again!

we had a wonderful getaway on the houseboat as a small family. There was everything you needed. There were many possibilities for business and that we were already allowed to use the sloop was an absolute highlight. If we had a question, we always got a super quick answer. A very nice family, great boat. we would come back any time.

This boat was such a treat, beautifully presented, spacious, gorgeous views amongst other boats, easy walking around central Amsterdam. The facilities within the boat were top notch, stylish upstairs living space, extremely comfortable beds, lovely bathroom (with the bonus of an upstairs toilet too). If we were there in warmer weather we would have spent more time just hanging out on the deck. Heartily recommend.

Very nice, beautiful, large and clean houseboat. Fully equipped. Nice host. Very nice area

Exquisite place, tiny house designed like a boat, where every corner is used and useful. But not too small, we were 3 people and with both beds open there is still place to sit at the table, sit in a couch and move around. Bathroom and kitchen have all it needs. Sleeping on the water was an experience to talk about. The location in the city is close to transports and walkable to the centre across the bridge. We rented their bikes for the day, all impeccable. Easy communication, spotless, fully equipped... all in all one of my best Airbnb stays.

We had a short but great and relaxing break here. The houseboat was something completely different. It has many nice outdoor spaces to relax, SUPs and boats for use. Downtown was within walking distance and yet it was quite quiet on the boat. We will be happy to come back.

it was everything we expected and more. the ducks came for tea 😁 we really enjoyed our stay.

We had fantastic days with our boys. Full days of boating, good food and in the evening on the houseboat. Highly recommended.
