The Tasmania is the perfect accommodation if you are looking for somewhere unique and special with a great location, and all the amenities you could need.

Sonja was great with responding to my emails promptly, and very friendly, even when I kept losing the directions email!

She met us on the boat and showed us around, and was very helpful in providing suggestions of where to go, and great places to eat.

The Tasmania is a stunning boat, and photos do not give it justice. It is far more impressive in person, and the decor is beautiful and modern, whilst still being very cosy and homely. They obviously put a lot of work to make house boat that is truly exceptional and aesthetically pleasing, and I would recommend a visit on seeing the architecture of it alone.

Inside you are in your own section of the boat, and can come and go as you please. The room itself is fully contained with comfortable double bed, kitchenette, small table with chairs, bathroom with big 'rainfall' style shower.

It is really lovely inside with all the amenities needed. Sonja was kind enough to leave a stocked fridge so we had enough food for two breakfasts, and snacks, as well as sparkling wine, beers, juice and waters. As keen coffee fiend, I was very happy to find a Nespresso machine for my regular caffeine fix!

The location is a 2 minute walk to the famous Haarlemmerstraat with it's wonderful boutique shops, and eateries, and about 20 minutes walk from the Centraal train station. It is a great location as it allows you to walk to the best of Amsterdam including the museum area, and the 9 streets, but is out of the hustle and bustle, so it is lovely and quiet. There are also bikes to borrow, but we just walked.

It is a picturesque view from the boat, and lovely to wake up on the water surround by boats.

It even comes with a lovely big ginger cat called Hector!

I could not recommend the Tasmania enough as a perfect accommodation option if you are looking for somewhere unique, convenient and luxurious. We cannot wait to return!
