Houseboat in beautiful Friesland

ChristinRating, 5 stars1 month ago

The place was excellent. It was even better than described and can't be captured in photos. It was all bigger than it appears in the photos. The entire houseboat was clean and well equipped. Garbage disposal takes some getting used to - but this is also complaining to a high standard and feasible. The hostess was always available, accommodating and very nice. Would recommend this place anytime.

The houseboat is beautiful and much larger than you'd expect. Located in a very nice small harbor, here you can watch boats docking and departing, the water, ducks, fish....

The houseboat and the associated boat are immaculately clean and modern and sufficiently equipped. It's enough to do it all: from kitchen utensils (there are even thermal cups and boarders) to a Bluetooth speaker and (our highlight! ) an infrared lamp for the frozen. On the roof terrace you can end the days nicely.
