The interiors are designed with a minimalist and modern flair, featuring clean lines, natural materials, and carefully curated furnishings that create a sense of understated elegance.

Epengfei from Switzerland (9/10)
The magical combination of modern houses and traditional houseboats gave us an unforgettable experience. Everyone slept soundly as the boat floated gently. A lot of water sport options. Bars , restaurants, supermarkets, and two indoor car parks are close by. Panoramic view of the lake and the modern skyscrapers. Comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen and bathroom.

Location was fantastic. Tram station is at walking distance, water taxi stop and plenty of food options at a stones throw. Also, close to the water bus stop if you plan to visit Kinderdyk (highly recommended).
