Najade Eco Houseboat — a 4-star eco-certified guest house on the Amsterdam waterfront
The Najade Eco Houseboat sits on Van Diemenkade 44, on the southern bank of the Oude Houthaven. It's a 4-star eco-certified guest house moored in Amsterdam's Houthavens waterfront district — well connected, quiet, and away from the tourist centre without being far from it.
The property is small-scale by design. You're not in a hotel with a lobby and a queue at reception — you're on a houseboat in Houthavens, one of the city's most interesting emerging neighbourhoods, 10 minutes by bike from the Anne Frank House and 20 minutes from the Rijksmuseum.
For guests arriving by brand or recommendation: this is an eco houseboat in Amsterdam West with free WiFi, terrace access, private bathrooms, and an operational philosophy built around low environmental impact. Official Amsterdam license: 0363 60A0 A970 0C9E 9E50.

Houthavens and Amsterdam
within easy reach
The Najade Eco Houseboat is located on Van Diemenkade, in the Houthavens district — Amsterdam's most interesting waterfront neighbourhood. Former industrial timber harbour, now home to new canals, the Pontsteiger building, waterfront dining, and genuine local life.
Getting here is simple: Bus 48 from Amsterdam Central Station stops at Barentszplein, just 150 metres from the property, in approximately 10 minutes. By bike from Central Station: 8 minutes. On foot along the waterfront: around 20 minutes.
The surrounding Zeeheldenbuurt neighbourhood is quiet, residential and historic — close enough to reach all of Amsterdam, far enough to come home to calm.
