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 we cook with electric appliances (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.

We had a wonderful time and a very pleasant stay
We hebben genoten en een heel fijn verblijf gehad
The houseboat was perfect for our stay. It had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, and we really appreciated how tastefully and thoughtfully the boat was furnished.
De woonboot voldeed helemaal aan ons verblijf. Alles wat we nodig hadden was aanwezig. Goede bedden en heel fijn dat met smaak en goede zorg de boot is ingericht.

Very hospitable—we had almost everything we needed. In the evening, the hostess even came over with a handyman to make a repair—great! The outbuilding was cold at night, but luckily there was a portable heater. There was only one small sink, in the kitchen, and one small mirror, in a bedroom. We’d been told beforehand that it was a bit cramped for five people, but it worked out just fine. There was no TV, but I hadn’t paid attention to that when booking, so that was my own fault. There was, however, a huge selection of board games, which more than made up for it and made things even more fun.
It was very pleasant to sit outside when the weather was nice. In short, we had a great time.Erg gastvrij, het ontbrak ons aan bijna niets. 's avonds is de gastvrouw nog met klusjesman naar ons gekomen voor een reparatie, top! Bijgebouwtje was koud 's nachts maar er was gelukkig een los kacheltje. Er was maar 1 wasbakje, in de keuken, en 1 spiegeltje, in een slaapkamer. Tevoren was ons gezegd dat het wat krap was voor 5 personen, maar het ging prima. Er was geen tv, maar daar had ik ook niet op gelet bij het boeken, dus dat lag aan mezelf. Er was wel een reusachtige voorraad spellen dus dat compenseerde meer dan goed en was nog veel gezelliger ook.
Buiten was het erg gezellig zitten met mooi weer. Kortom, we hebben het goed gehad.Wonderfully peaceful, beautiful nature, fields, grass, water, fishing. It was a nice walk to the village, and there’s a cozy restaurant nearby.
Heerlijk rustig, mooie natuur, veld, gras, water, vissen. Je kon fijn wandelen naar het dorpje, gezellig restaurant in de buurt.
