Our water villas are fully equipped, 100% ecological and self-sufficient. Luxury, comfort and respect for nature come together here. From April/May on the houseboat is docked on open water. This houseboat (built in '22) is fully equipped. We'd love to welcome you as guests on our Surla houseboat to create beautiful memories with this unique experience. This specific houseboat is suitable for 4 adults and 2 children. There is a spacious living room with a couch, dining table, tv, pellet stove and sliding doors to the front terrace with outdoor chairs. The open plan kitchen is fully equipped with an induction cooker, fridge, oven, dishwasher, kettle and Nespresso coffee machine. There's also a table-top freezer in the utility room. The bathroom is equipped with a shower, sink and a dry toilet. There are 2 bedrooms on the houseboat. Two bedrooms with hotel beds (1.80 x 2.00m), especially designed for Surla Houseboats. And a nice bunk bed for children in the hallway with a sliding door in front. Via the outside stairs you can go to the spacious rooftop terrace (24m2) where there is a lounge set to enjoy beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Last but not least: on the back terrace is a warm outdoor shower, great after a swim. Before arrival: The check-in time is between 15.00 and 18.00pm. Earlier check-in is not possible due to cleaning of the houseboat. We have a host available: Wendy. Please inform the host your expected arrival time. This host is also available during your stay for questions or emergencies. You will receive her phone number with the check-in instructions one week before arrival. NOTE: \* Surla rents out several houseboats at different locations. It is possible that the location, the floorplan of the houseboat and the interior in the photos differs from the actual houseboat. All our houseboats were built in 2022-2023. \* We have a camera that faces outward, and it hangs outside on the front deck. This turns off as soon as the guests come on board. So it is purely for safety if there are no guests. There are no cameras inside. \*Swimming certificates are highly recommended. We will not recommend the houseboat for people with walking difficulties. \*We advise you to do necessary shopping before boarding. Standard on board is a few Nespresso coffee capsules, milk, sugar, tea, oil, pepper, salt and a few toilet rolls. We have towels and the beds are made for your arrival. \*There is no public transport nearby. Everything has to be done with the dinghy, such as visiting a restaurant or a supermarket. \*No parties allowed. Our Surla Houseboats are built sustainably and are 100% self-sufficient. We have ingenious systems on board that allow you to recreate without going on shore power, and we also have filter systems that mean we don't have to have water tanks on board. We are guests on the water and have done everything possible to implement 100% off-grid and ecologically responsible solutions. We would love to welcome you as guests to create beautiful memories with this unique experience. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the accommodation: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport -
