The lounge in the captain's steering cabin above deck offers a beautifull 360 view of the old Amsterdam Houthavens (lumber harbor), the IJ (the main water way to the harbor) and the city. Below deck there is a seperate sleeping area; a dining / living area with a small, but fully equipped, kitchenette; and bathroom with shower and toilet.
    All amenities are brand-new. There is an internet connection. The apartment has its own entrance It has a sense of spaciousness and there is a sea of tranquility. A great place to relax and watch ships of all sizes and swans come by while the boat gently rocks.
    , its a great way to explore Amsterdam.

Great place to stay

This is not your run of the mill accommodation. If you’re looking for something different from hotels in a great location, this is it. I think of all the places I’ve rented over the years all over the world, this is in my top 3. The owner Margriet is very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again if I return to Amsterdam.

An Incredible Stay on a Beautiful Boat

This house boat is what dreams are made of. Clean, cozy, and incredibly comfortable; I don't think I've ever slept so well. Dana is an absolute gem and incredibly helpful. Would absolutely stay here again!

House boat review

It was a perfect location and Dana was a joy to meet and beyond kind to me and my partner. We had no trouble with sea sickness and everything was a 20 minute walk away. We loved the view, the location, and the boat itself and would stay again if given the chance.

Wonderful Weekend in Amsterdam

We had the pleasure of staying at Houseboat Dana for a long weekend. Not only was it cosy, clean and comfortable, but the location was also close to tram/ ferry stops. Dana was the most generous and helpful host we’ve ever had. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a romantic weekend in Amsterdam.

Great time on the Dana

My husband and I stayed for several days and it was a perfect adventure. We wanted something other than another hotel stay and we got it! Very cozy, well appointed, and a great location. Between the ferries (5 min walk) and the train station (20 min walk), we had everything we needed to get around. Host was incredibly helpful in sharing information. Would absolutely stay again.

Houseboat

Very fun experience on the houseboat we loved the perch up top for sipping wine and chatting/napping under the sun/rainy sky one day it was so very relaxing. The free ferry is a quick walk away to get into central Amsterdam.

Highly recommend!

We had a great stay on the houseboat - highly recommend to anyone considering! Dana was a wonderful host - very easy to communicate with, thoughtful, generous, and very interesting to chat with. She is very knowledgeable about the area and has great suggestions as well as insights on local history. The boat is more well connected to the city center than you'd expect (a short bus ride from the central station and multiple bus options). If we ever visit again we'd definitely stay here again!

Great experience on a Boathouse!

Dana’s boathouse is perfectly situated, close to Amsterdam Central Station and the city centre. Well equipped, if you want to eat small meals on the boat and enjoy the wonderful view of the canal. Dana is a very nice person and available for your questions and needs. I recommend!

Perfect! Just book it!

My daughter and I had the best time. The houseboat is super cozy and so beautiful. We had a bit of a bad luck with the weather but staying on the houseboat made it so much more fun as you could stay up in the captains quarters and enjoy a beautiful view instead of being stuck in a hotel room. My daughter got bad cold and Dana was so helpful providing us with medicine, honey, herbs and tea. The bed was very comfortable and everything was super clean. The location was great as you are not in the midst of everything but still only a couple of bus stops away from the hustle and bustle. We slept so well since the bed was very comfortable and there was literally no noise from outside as there is no street going by. The kitchen and fridge are awesome as you don’t have to spent tons of money eating out but if you feel like it there are some good options in walking distance like a Thai place or a Turkish place and a great grocery store as well. I would definelty book another stay here! 100%!!!

Lovely stay in houseboat Dana, a wonderful oasis of calm just a few minutes from all the action of Amsterdam. Such a unique place to stay with everything you could possibly need for a short break. The hosting was great too, with excellent communication and information provided to make the stay even better. We’d definitely stay again when we are next visiting Amsterdam.
