We promise you a great sense of freedom, with amazing views over the Zaan River and the famous Dutch clouds, that inspired Rembrandt to create his amazing paintings, drifting by. Yet you're in the buzz of Amsterdam in just 20 minutes by car and less than 30 minutes by public transport. 

The houseboat is spacious and really offers anything you might need during your stay, and more. We host up to four guests to ensure you have all the space you might possibly want. The fully equipped open kitchen enables you to cook a great diner. Both bedrooms have an own bathroom and toilet, so no need to share with the rest of your party. And what better place is there to enjoy your breakfast than the wheelhouse with great panoramic views over the water. 

With good weather you can use two outside terraces to enjoy the sun. During the colder months the fire place is a great plus, especially with the comfortable couch to snuggle up. You have a private entrance to the houseboat apartment and we offer parking options as well. We live on the same boat, so we're there if you have any questions, yet full privacy during your stay is ensured.

    Great accommodation right next to the windmills

    We often try to stay a little out of the city centre on our city breaks. This houseboat was a great choice. I wouldn't recommend it to someone who struggles with stairs, particularly narrow stairs, but it's surprisingly spacious and well presented. Location wise we drove in parking at P+R Noord.

    Houseboat Juul Amsterdam Show original

    • Excellent location and helpful host Joyce . Its a 10 minute bike ride to the station and 15 mins in Amsterdam central.
    • The boat is very well equipped and comfortable .
    • Improvements- much clearer directions, better info on travel at the boat and local facilities.
    • The bikes were fun but not all have lights - essential when returning from Amsterdam
    • A lot of lights didn't work on the boat.
    • Overall we enjoyed ourselves.

    Welcoming hosts - loved this houseboat near Amsterdam!

    Peter and Jose are warm, welcoming hosts! We loved the little boat. It was so fun to explore the boat and the beautiful windmills nearby - a very short walk. Thank you for the great trip!

    Our stay on the Julianna

    What a fantastic stay we had on the boat. We found the area very peaceful and the views were equally as good. Myself and my 2 friends thoroughly enjoyed our stay and thought the hostess was very welcoming and generous in spirit. I would heartily recommend staying here. The local Windmills are a definite plus point.
