House-Boat BK48 ***

As seen on TV – House Hunters International, this houseboat was exclusively selected for this program because of the splendid reviews (see below the pictures).

This former Cargo ship has everything you need to make your stay in Amsterdam unforgettable! You will see Amsterdam from a different perspective, through the eyes of the local houseboat owners. The comfort of a luxury apartment combined with original characteristics and atmosphere of a 90 year old cargo ship. Have you ever enjoyed your Jacuzzi on a houseboat while looking outside through the portholes?

A stay on Saturnus will provide you with the luxury of a hotel, while enjoying the comfort of your own home. You will experience Amsterdam in a different way, and we assure you, you will love it! The boat has been split up in two full size apartments, one is available for guests and the owners live on the other side. The isolation between the 2 apartments is perfect and the guests have their own entrance.  We guarantee your privacy!

The guest apartment is very well equipped and has two bedrooms. The first bedroom has a king-size bed and a queen-size bed on a platform/loft (Great for children!). The second bedroom has a king-size bed. Furthermore there is a luxurious bathroom with a Jacuzzi/whirlpool and a separate luxurious and spacious rain shower. The fully equipped kitchen, sitting area and dining area are all very comfortable. Compared to other houseboats this boat is very spacious due to the high ceilings and lots of light.

The boat is located in a quiet neighbourhood of the old city centre, at walking distance from the vibrant city centre of Amsterdam. This part of the city is known for the quietness and its beautiful views. Shops, restaurants, bars and museums are all on a walking distance. Plan your trips using the free high speed Wifi connection. Make the most out of your stay on the houseboat while enjoying the outside area. You can have a barbeque outside, lounge on the outside lounge sofa and enjoy the views while having a drink. Or use the large Fatboys to sit on the deck.

If you sit outside to enjoy your drink you can have a look at the Rembrandt House and the boats pass by. You will love it! 1 metro stop from Central Station and just round the corner from the heart of things, yet in a quiet and safe residential area.

IDÉALE POUR SE DÉPAYSER SANS PARTIR LOIN !
by Catherine ZUNIC HERNANDEZ

Nous revenons de 8 jours passés à Amsterdam sur cette superbe péniche. Les photos du site sont conformes à la réalité ! Nous avons adoré notre séjour sur ce bateau (couple et deux enfants dont une ado). L'intérieur est beau, chaleureux, spacieux, lumineux. Les chambres, de véritables havres de paix, nous avons tous dormi comme des "bébés". Salle de bains agréable (bain jacuzzi, douche double pommeaux,...) pratique, grand nombre de serviettes mises à disposition. Enfin cuisine bien pensée (avec lave vaisselle :-) et coin séjour assez grand pour nous 4.
A l'extérieur, bain de soleil sur le toit possible et surtout la vue superbe et le calme qui règne à pourtant quelques pas de toutes les commodités : bars, boulangeries, supermarchés à quelques pas, place du marché à proximité également et pour se rendre sur la place "Dam" c'est "tout droit" et super facile pour se rendre partout.

Good location, well fitted out, a different and perfect alternative to a hotel
by Martyn Proctor

First views of this retired working barge are misleading as you puzzle where the rooms are, but descend the iron steps and enter the door and wow, what a difference! The interior is very chic and details such as signature towels and nautically themed quilts are nice touches. There were only 3 of us, so plenty of space - three comfortable large beds would sleep 6. Satellite/cable TV, wifi, dishwasher, trousre press, large jacuzzi bath, separate shower - it's all there. There's a table that seats 4 and sofas for 4-5. Location is good too - close to Nieuwmarkt and on a wide canal, but it was always quiet, with un-noticeable rocking as boats passed. Shops, cafes, supermarkets, diamond factories, bike hire are all close by too. I'd definitely go here again.

City break in Amsterdam
by Kate Scholes

Could not recommend this house boat enough!!! Perfect location for everthing and although the area is quieter than some it's only a short walk to the lively areas. Wanting to make the most of our short stay we asked Richard (boat owner) to point us in the right direction, he recommended some fantastic places especially Bier Fabriek (beer factory)!! Nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely stay again. Thanks again xxxx
