    Hans is an amazing host, his houseboat is lovely. He makes fresh gluten free pancakes for my daughter (she is celiac). We felt better than at home!!! Super recommended!

    It was fantastic staying on this 90 year old relic! Hans, Mai and Alex made me feel right at home. Excellent location and a real oceanic experience.

    I'm an old boatman and I felt right at home, and I was honoured by the captain preparing some of his special pancakes for my breakfast. I had the chance to meet the hotel staff who are family to the captain and so the atmosphere was homely.
