Frank’s houseboat is conveniently located near the Central Train Station. It is close to the ferry and some local pubs, but if not used to walking, it can be a bit of a walk to some popular tourist areas i.e. Red Light, Heineken museum etc. We recommend renting bikes from a local shop—but get a lesson on the rules of biking before you take off on your bike (it can be dangerous if you don’t know what you are doing)! Frank was very welcoming upon our arrival to the Stella Rask. The boat was amazing and the community around the docks is very friendly and safe.
Be mindful that this is a cabin in a boat, so understand what you are booking. The stairs down to your cabin can be bit troublesome, so I do not recommend the houseboat if you have any physical impairments. The cabin was small (so pack lightly or functionally), but the bathroom was wonderful in size! The bed was very comfortable, and the cabin was very clean. Day and night the entire experience was very peaceful. There are plates/ cups/ coffee etc. available to use. Frank provides regular sized towels, so if you require a washcloth bring your own. Frank has 2 houseboat cats that are very friendly; once which greeted us in the mornings and afternoons 😊 There is not a T.V. or defined living room space, but hopefully if you are visiting for vacation you will want to be out in the city and not watching T.V.!
If you have any questions Frank will answer them and will share with you his local recommendations. Frank gave us our privacy and respected our private space. If you are looking for a place to sleep with the “boat house” local experience, we highly recommend Franks houseboat!
