Description
What could be better than waking up on the water? Experience it on houseboat 'de Valreep', directly on the Sneekermeer in Marina Waterrijck. The liveliness of the harbour combined with the fantastic view over the open water makes for a unique experience. You can see the freighters and typical Frisian ‘skûtsjes’ pass by from the living room. You can also watch the fishermen leave the harbour before dawn in search of a good spot. There is also a great variety of water birds to admire from the roof terrace or garden.
Accommodation
This four-person houseboat is located in Offingawier, in the harbour on the Sneekermeer. Enjoy the sun at the dining table or two-person lounge sofa for two on the front terrace (18 m2). You enter the living room through the double sliding doors. Relax on the couch in the sitting area in front of the flat-screen television, or sink into one of the two pink armchairs. The living room had air conditioning. The houseboat also offers cosy and comfortable accommodation on colder days.
The open-plan kitchen is equipped with all modern conveniences, such as a combination microwave, a dishwasher, a refrigerator with freezer compartment, a toaster, a kettle and both a Nespresso and filter coffee maker. There is also a dining table for six—plenty of space to enjoy breakfast and dinner! The living room leads to the hallway. On one side you will find the toilet (with washbasin and mirror); on the other side is the bathroom with shower, washbasin and a spacious wardrobe for towels. The bedrooms are further down the hallway. These are two identical bedrooms with two single beds (80–120 x 200 cm), air conditioning, a wardrobe, shelves and a blanket chest. There is also a fold-away cot (60 x 120 cm).
Both bedrooms open onto the terrace at the back (6 m2 facing south). Take the spiral staircase here to the roof terrace (about 30 m2) where you can enjoy the sun all day. The terrace has a large lounge set with thick cushions, a lounge chair, lounge sofas and a lounge table.
Besides the terraces, the houseboat has a garden (100 m2) on the northwest, directly next to the Sneekermeer. Please note that this garden is not fenced. The garden has grass and is large enough that you can always find a spot in the sun. It is lovely to play in, lie down in or use as a base for water sports. You can also barbecue in the garden!
