Very close to Amsterdam you will find our little paradise studio apartment connected to our houseboat. A unique location on the canal, just outside the village Broek in Waterland and directly between the meadows. From your apartment you have a beautiful view of the national park with its green grass and its fauna, such as for example meadow birds, sheep, horses, hares, geese and swans. The studio is very quiet and offers a lot of privacy and luxury. We designed and built the apartment ourselves and most of the building materials and furniture were recycled. Our starting point was to have it clean, cozy and comfortable. The rooms are well heated and the shower is hot. You have a huge living room with a modest kitchenette to make your own meals and, of course, coffee and tea. There is a private bathroom for you and you have your own entrance from our central hall.

Never a dull moment. In summer you can start canoeing, swimming, fishing, cycling, skating, hiking, jogging etcetera right from our place. Nearby you can also rent sailboats and electric sloops. In winter we can sometimes go ice skating on the canals and lakes. Besides the city of Amsterdam, there are many interesting sights nearby. Such as the historic villages and towns around the former Zuiderzee. Like, for example, the former island of Marken with its historic ferry to Volendam. Also the more than 700-year-old port towns such as Monnickendam, Edam, Hoorn, Enkhuizen (Zuiderzee museum), Muiden (Muiderkasteel) and Alkmaar (cheese market). The Zaanse Schans is a particularly picturesque open-air museum with different types of windmills that are still turning. Most of these mills can also be visited inside. At Teetuin Overleek you can rent electric open boats. The most beautiful village is, of course, Broek in Waterland. 1500 m (by foot-bike-car).
