The Bonte Bovenhuis is a stylish stay in our boutique hotel that we opened in 2022 in the fully renovated and sustainable 17th century national monument in the rural village of Westzaan. A beautiful spot in the Zaanstreek, where we are also happy to welcome you to our restaurant and picnic garden.

An (64) and Tjits (63) designed this space and kept the monumental wooden beams fully in view. With the Zaanse yellow, textiles and prints, they filled this spacious guest house with coziness. It is located right above the restaurant, so a snack and drink are never far away!
The Bonte Bovenhuis is located on the first floor on a landing that you share with one other stay. A steep spiral staircase - where the bags of flour used to be carried up - leads you upstairs. From this room, you have a view over the meadows and the garden at the back, and you look out over the street at the front. The bathroom is located in the accommodation in an enclosed space.
Feel at home by drinking a cup of coffee or tea or make a lunch in the kitchenette. The kitchenette is equipped with a number of basic amenities such as: percolator, kettle, plates, glasses and cutlery. There are no facilities for cooking or heating food.
During the day, many of our guests explore the famous, historic Zaan region, go energetic SUP (rental 100 meters away), go to Amsterdam or laze around in the garden.
Our restaurant and our chef Syl are known in our region for celebrating local ingredients: for example, the meat we serve comes mainly from the organically raised cows that can be seen from our garden, but we also have an extensive vegan menu. It is smart to reserve a table in advance. Surf online to Jongwijs Westzaan and find our website where you can make reservations.
Our garden has sweeping views of the meadows, and hostess Nel is happy to show the guests of our boutique hotel around.
Guest access
Of course, you have access to your own accommodation. In addition, you are welcome in the adjacent restaurant for a cup of coffee or a delicious lunch or dinner. The terrace in front, and the picnic garden behind, are freely accessible and are wonderful places to chill in the sun or to enjoy the view.
Other things to note
You will stay in a centuries-old national monument. Despite the fact that the building has been modernized from top to toe (while preserving the authentic elements and atmosphere), you may hear sounds from the restaurant.
Please note: some steps and stairs are typical of the seventeenth century, i.e. steep. To reach the studio, you walk up a narrow spiral staircase upon entering. If you have difficulty walking, that can be a challenge.
Accessibility/transport:
Our boutique hotel and restaurant are located in the rural village of Westzaan, not far from Zaandam and Amsterdam. There is no bus stop in front of the door, so the last part (5 kilometers) from/to the nearest station - Zaandam Station - is a challenge. There are buses, but they take a long time, and from/to the nearest stop it is a 2-kilometer walk. Most people therefore take a bicycle or a taxi from Zaandam Station. Do you want to go to Amsterdam or are you coming from there? Then the train from/to Zaandam Station is also the best option. A direct taxi is also possible, which will take about 25 minutes. Are you coming from Schiphol Airport or do you want to go there? From/to Zaandam Station, there is a direct train. A taxi will also take about 25 minutes from door to door. Are you coming by car? Parking is available on private property and otherwise 100 meters away in a parking lot.
We have a total of five bicycles available for our guests. Cost: €12.50 per bike per day. Please note: only available if you reserve it in advance by sending us a message. Then we will prepare the bicycle(s).

My work: Social entrepreneur
Most useless skill: Clapping with one hand (try me)
Together with family and friends, we wanted to make a place to enjoy the most beautiful and delicious things in our region. And we now enjoy doing that, in our beloved national monument from 1635 (!) in typical Dutch rural village of Westzaan, just steps from Amsterdam. There we welcome our guests in three completely restored monumental guest houses in 2022, our restaurant, bakery and garden.
Our restaurant and chef Syl are known in our region for celebrating local ingredients: for example, the meat we serve comes mainly from the organically kept cows that can be seen from our garden, but we also carry an extensive vegan card. Our friend Lex bakes the bread and banquet in the building as a third generation of artisan baker. Our garden has wide views of the meadows and hostess Nel likes to show the guests of our boutique hotel.
Many of our guests wake up in the morning to the smell of fresh croissants from baker Lex, and from the fresh coffee from the organic beans roasted a few miles away (in prison, but that's a long story...). During the day, many of our guests explore the famous, historic Zaanstreek, go energetic sup'pen (rental 100 meters away), go to Amsterdam or laze in the garden.
Our adage is: nothing is necessary and (almost) everything is allowed.
Welcome!
Nel, chef Syl, bakery Lex and Simon
