A cozy guesthouse that overlooks the meadows at the back, while at the front you can look out over the harbor of Durgerdam from the dike. Water sports enthusiasts will be in heaven: the house is located on the Zuiderzee Dike. It’s an ideal base for hiking and biking trips through Waterland, with the city just around the corner. Just 6 km from downtown Amsterdam, you can enjoy everything the city has to offer. You can also go for a run, swim, canoe, fish, windsurf, or sail, and there’s even a golf course nearby. The living room opens onto the terrace, which overlooks the ditch and the meadows where cows graze in the summer, and where meadow birds, hares, and pheasants roam. On the west-facing terrace, you can enjoy a barbecue as the sun sets.

Nature and surroundings

Durgerdam is a picturesque former fishing village on the Zuiderzee dike, just a stone’s throw from Amsterdam. The village consists almost entirely of a long row of picturesque—mostly wooden—houses along a narrow road atop the old Zuiderzee dike and has been designated a protected village since 1976. The village is surrounded by water on one side and meadows on the other, in an area known as Waterland. It is a peat meadow landscape bordering the Markermeer, where many meadow and water birds rest and forage. Small game such as hares, pheasants, and the like can also often be seen there.

    The area around the nature house was very messy. There was a lot of clutter and trash in the yard, which detracts from the house’s appeal. It makes for an awkward first impression.
    We were told we could rent bikes from the owner, but that turned out not to be the case. We were directed to the harbor office to rent bikes. They had just stopped offering that service when we asked. As it happened, he still had a couple of bikes we could take.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    It was a peaceful stay; the cottage was decent, but could have been cleaner. There were enough supplies for cooking. The lighting in the bathroom was poor. The bed was comfortable.

    Very comfortable beds; pleasant communication with the owner; excellent restaurant within walking distance;
    The lighting in the bathroom would be greatly improved if the old-fashioned energy-saving bulb were replaced with a modern LED bulb, and if proper lighting were installed above the mirror;

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A charmingly decorated cottage with a beautiful, unobstructed view from the back patio;
    in a particularly quiet location;

    The bed was a bit too soft. Otherwise everything you need was there and clean! On the terrace and around the cottage a bit of a mess (e.g. stored car tires on the terrace are not very inviting).

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    Great location for a daily bike ride into town. Too bad that the view will probably still be obstructed... Animal watching directly from/at the accommodation possible (e.g. breeding swan).
