Nature house in Rijpwetering (Kagerplassen)
South Holland, Netherlands
- 5 persons
- 3 bedrooms
- WiFi
- Pets allowed
Calling all sailing enthusiasts and those seeking peace and quiet! Our houseboat, complete with a large, fenced-in garden, is moored at a small marina on the Koppoel in Rijpwetering, one of the Kagerplassen lakes. We always have a wonderful time when we’re there: swimming in the Koppoel, sailing around the Kagerplassen. All the watercraft you need (inflatable canoe, SUP) are provided. In the sunny garden, we enjoy the beautiful weather and build a fire every evening. We love sharing this spot with other nature lovers and water sports enthusiasts. The houseboat was renovated in 2022: a new bathroom (tiny, but with a rain shower), new double-glazed window frames, heating, and electric cooking (a combination oven is provided). This means you can now enjoy this wonderful spot even in the winter. The decor is simple and tasteful, and the view is stunning. Two bedrooms (without doors) are inside the houseboat; the bunk bed (suitable for children) is in the garden shed (with a separate electric heater).
Nature and surroundings
You could say you’re staying in a postcard: a truly Dutch landscape with a twelve-sided windmill right next door, small dikes, and beautiful bike routes. The immediate area offers plenty to keep you entertained for a week: the Kagerplassen, of course, the Kleipoel swimming beach, and the De Vergulde Vos café in the village. A large riding stable is just a few minutes’ walk away. Want more? The charming cities of Leiden, The Hague, and Amsterdam (and Schiphol Airport) are all within a half-hour’s reach.

Delightful houseboat. We stayed there in January. Everything was nicely taken care of and enjoyed the wood stove. In the area you can also take a nice walk through the meadows.
Heerlijke woonboot. Wij zijn er in januari geweest. Alles was keurig verzorgt en genoten van de houtkachel. In de omgeving kan je ook een leuke wandeling maken door de weilanden.

In terms of location and decor it is just about perfect. Had to get used to the sink we had to.brush teeth and r downstairs no mirror. Also outside in the garden all facilities perfect. The luggage transport with wheelbarrow from parking lot to woonark v.v. was n challenge and good for the pedometer.
Het is qua lokatie en inrichting zo goed als perfect. Even wennen dat we aan de gootsteen tanden moesten.poetsen en r beneden geen spiegel is. Ook buiten in de tuin alle faciliteiten perfect. Het bagagevervoer met kruiwagen van parkeerterrein naar woonark v.v. was n uitdaging en goed voor de stappenteller.
An oasis of peace, lots of birds and t t tinkling of the rigging of sailboats in the harbor. We were there during the week. Friday evening t got a little busier, but everyone kept to the 11 p.m. quiet rule
Een oase van rust, heel veel vogels en t geklingel van de tuigage van de zeilboten in de haven. Zo'n en schaduw de hele dag.
Wij waren er doordeweek. Vrijdagavond werd t al wat drukker, maar iedereen hield zich aan de 23.00 uur stil regelThis text is automatically translated.
