Houseboat holiday rentals in Westeinderplassen

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.

Lovely home Perfect neighborhood to stay if touring Amsterdam Host extremely responsive to any of our needs

Wir fanden es super-war ein tolles Erlebnis. Die Häuser sind sehr hellhörig, war für eine Nacht ok für uns. Unbezahlbar war der Standort, so cool!

Anouk ist eine sehr freundliche Gastgeberin. Ihre Empfehlungen für Ausflüge, auch mit dem kleinen Motorboot, waren wirklich hilfreich für uns. Das Hausboot ist geräumig, hübsch und einfach etwas besonderes. Die ruhige Lage war sehr entspannend und gleichzeitig waren das Zentrum von Amsterdam ebenso wie die Tulpenfelder oder das Meer mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln gut zu erreichen. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und sagen Danke!

We hebben genoten van het verblijf op de woonark! Een heerlijk plekje aan het water bij een superhost! Fijne kamers, leuke spelletjes en veel te doen in de buurt. We hebben genoten van de rust in de directe omgeving van Amsterdam. Het was heerlijk 'thuiskomen' op de ark na een drukke dag in de stad. Marie Louise is erg gezellig en behulpzaam en staat altijd voor je klaar! Echt fantastisch!!!@

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.

evdeki herkes huzur, keyif, mutluluk ve sohbet dolu bir tatil geçirdiler. Çok param olsa o evi isterdim Amsterdam'da. Bir daha umarım geldiğimizde yine Hanco'nun evinde kalabiliriz. Sevgiler.

Das Hausboot war was ganz besonderes, wir haben die kleinen Wellengänge gespürt und hatten Spaß dabei! Die Bordkatzen haben uns direkt Willkommen geheißen! Gerne wieder 😸😊

We were so lucky to be able to stay in such a beautiful place! The beds were comfy, the surroundings were peaceful and beautiful... it was a lovely escape from the busy, city-center. We LOVED the use of the kitchen and the deck just off the kitchen. Hein was so good to have bikes available for us. There is little available directly near the home but a 10 minute bike ride along the lovely road and over the bridge gets you to all you could want. We were sad to leave our Amsterdam home and will hope Hein's home is available when we return.

Es war ein wirklich schöner Aufenthalt. Die Kinder waren von der Überraschung begeistert, dass wir als Unterkunft ein Hausboot haben. Dieses war ruhig gelegen, die Einrichtung liebevoll gestaltet. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt und hatten viel Freude beim beobachten der Enten, Reiher und Schwäne direkt vom Frühstückstisch

Logement très paisible, les seuls bruits que vous entendrez seront ceux des canards et des oies. Le logement est fidèle à la description. Tout le nécessaire est présent pour passer un agréable séjour. Carla est très réactive. Elle nous a accueilli à notre arrivée et nous avait prévu des petites douceurs, ce que nous avons trouvé très sympathique. Nous recommandons fortement et referont certainement un nouvel escale lorsque nous reviendrons dans le pays!

Thank you so much to Fern. You were so helpful and accommodating from the initial booking to check out. Your houseboat is absolutely stunning and location was perfect. Stones throw from tramlines and quirky eateries. We will return.

If you are looking to stay on the river in a quiet neighbourhood - on a house boat - it doesn't get better than this. I loved waking up, peering out onto the water. Each morning the rowers are out, people running along the riverbank - it's incredibly peaceful yet full of life. This is a real boat, not a floating house so you have to navigate different levels inside, getting on and off the boat etc. All part of the charm. Martin is a fabulous host. Note: this is the old school airbnb of old - its Martin's home, beautifully appointed, spacious and generously kitted out - with the comfort of a 'lived in' feel. The upper deck is just delightful, full of light and windows and you can sit with your coffee and watch the river-world go by. The area is surrounded by park, but just nearby is a lovely high-street with shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants and deli's. Trams will take directly into the centre of Amsterdam - everything you need - highly recommended!

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!

We had a wonderful stay! The property was pristine clean and felt like a true home away from home. Mandy was incredibly responsive and proactive with any questions we had—communication was smooth and reassuring from start to finish. The location was exactly as described, perfectly situated and convenient for everything we needed. Our kids had a blast, and the jacuzzi and sauna were the cherry on top—such a relaxing bonus after long days out. We’d definitely come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort, cleanliness, and a welcoming vibe.

A lovely houseboat out of the busy fray of Amsterdam with easily accessible public transportation, cafes and restaurants. The birdlife on the canal was a pleasure, including 5 recently hatched baby coots. Liz gave us proper food to give the parents and we enjoyed watching them feed their offspring. Great break from museums and all the activities of Amsterdam.

Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre séjour d’une nuit. Le logement est charmant, original et facile d’accès. Nous avons aisément trouvé un bon restaurant et Aalsmeer est un très bel endroit. Nous avons apprécié le livret de bienvenue préparé par Anne qui a été très réactive et disponible. Le logement était propre et fonctionnel. Nous avons été bien accueillis et avons passé un très bon séjour ! C’était une belle expérience de dormir sur l’eau. À refaire!

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.

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.

Logement agréable, calme, à 20 min d’Amsterdam. Situé sur l’eau, mais ce n’est pas une péniche. On a passé un excellent séjour.

Séjour en famille (2 adultes et 3 enfants/ados) Nous avons eu un temps formidable et donc nous avons pu parfaitement profiter du lieu. Le logement est très bien équipé (nous avons pu cuisiner comme nous voulions car la cuisine est très bien équipée) Le bateau et le canoë ont plus à toute la famille ! C’est paisible et agréable : un vrai petit coin de paradis ! (D’où nous avons pu visiter Amsterdam, Rotterdam, la Haye, Utrecht…)

We hebben fantastische dagen gehad met onze jongens. Hele dagen varen, lekker eten en in de avond lekker op de woonboot. Enorme aanrader.

Wir haben drei wunderschöne und sehr erholsame drei Nächte bei Lieve und Rob verbracht. Die erste Nacht haben wir bei Rob im Hafen verbracht und am nächsten Tag hat er uns raus zum Strand gebracht. Hier am Kanal zwischen Rhein und Maas kann man wunderbar angeln, spazieren gehen oder mit dem Kanu eine Runde drehen. Die Lage und auch die Unterkunft haben uns mega gut gefallen. Lieve und Rob sind zwei sehr nette und freundliche Gastgeber. Wir werden sehr gerne wieder kommen.

Francisco’s houseboat was outstanding. We loved everything about it - it’s spacious, tasteful and comfortable with all the facilities we needed for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed having a glass of rosé and bbq on the deck as the sun went down - heaven. And Aalsmeer is a stunning location - don’t me miss the Garden Museum and cafe for a lovely lunch. Sad to leave
