Houseboat Tante Piet, deluxe cabin

Houseboat Tante Piet offers a unique Amsterdam experience for couples or small families seeking a blend of comfort and adventure. The deluxe cabin sleeps up to four guests with two en-suite bathrooms and private entrances, making it ideal for two couples or a family with older children. The houseboat is moored in a green, quiet street in Centrum-Oost, part of a friendly gypsy-style boat community where you can enjoy bonfires and BBQs on the shore. It's perfect for travelers who want to stay in a distinctive waterfront property while still being close to the city's energy — just five minutes by public transport to Central Station and the famous canal belt. Standout amenities include a private deck terrace, a bonfire pit, and a BBQ, plus practical touches like a high chair, luggage dropoff, and cooking basics. The host greets you personally, adding a warm, local touch to your stay. For trip planning, note that the area offers easy access to Amsterdam's nightlife and cultural sites, yet feels like a peaceful retreat on the water. The two separate cabins provide flexibility, and the option to convert double beds into singles works well for groups with different sleeping preferences.

Centrum-Oost is a vibrant, green area along the water, known for its eclectic houseboat community and relaxed vibe. You're close to the city center but away from the tourist crowds, with easy tram and bus connections to Central Station, the Anne Frank House, and the Jordaan. The street itself feels like a peaceful enclave, perfect for evening bonfires or BBQs on the shore. Local shops and cafes are a short walk away, and the famous canals are just a quick ride.
