Dokstroom - our hidden gem

Great location, great space, great staff. Loved this houseboat!

 The title of our review is Dutch and it means that we can’t wait to get back there. We had a wonderful time and it was fascinating spending our vacation on the Docstroom. We were greeted by Joanne who explained  everything to us and was able to answer all our questions too.  We had maps available and it was very easy to get around.  About five minutes from the boat we crossed a little bridge to get into the center and from there we could already see part of the city which we very much enjoyed    We found a grocery store not too far away and the transportation is awesome    We had absolutely no problems getting around  We enjoyed the evening in front  of the boat and Jeff very much enjoyed feeding the ducks that came right out of the water to us. They like crackers,so does Joanne’s cat. We  definitely come back. Sabine and Jeff. Tidewater Virginia. 

A very pleasant experience for the first time. Both with the booking site and for accommodation. We parked our vehicle in the P+R Zeeburg2 car park, then took the tram. After 3 stops and 5 minutes of walking, we were able to discover the accommodation of our stay. (A discount on the price of parking is made if you use a tram ticket. Find out, it is very advantageous compared to the price of parking in the city).

Joanne had asked us the day before what time we thought we would arrive and were able to organize ourselves for the reception. The houseboat is only a 15 minute walk from the central station where almost all the trams go. We had taken an unlimited transport ticket for the duration of our stay, perfect for quickly crossing the city to get to the different places we wanted to visit (and rest our little feet).

The train line passes not far from the barge, but it didn't bother us at all. We are not light sleepers, and earplugs are kindly provided if needed. For people who need complete black to sleep, consider getting a sleep mask. The light filters through the small portholes and the curtains. Personally, it didn't bother us, but if you're sensitive to it, think about it.

We took advantage of the coffee and tea provided for the morning. A small refrigerator is even available, practical for cold drinks. Several restaurants are nearby, as well as several bars. Although we are not in the city center, there is everything you need nearby. A small binder contains some addresses, but there is so much to do. We will not hesitate to return for a future stay!

Hostess was very friendly and very helpful, very good location. Recommended!

The owner is a very friendly and attentive person. The location is really nice, the value for money is simply super. Note that there is a train rail on the other side of the road and you might hear passing trains till around 1 AM. However, the owner offers ear plugs if you want ;-)
The room on the houseboat is large and very well heated, and you will find everything that you need during your stay.
The place is located just 10 minutes walk from the center, the way to reach it is very nice. there is a bar at the end of the road which is also very cool.

Over all we highly recommend this place.
