Picture perfect 1650 house overlooking Prinsengracht canal - luxury with charm

We are so very proud to have been given the #1 market ranking by VRBO for Amsterdam as at February 2020. We aim for your stay at New Holland House to be an authentic Amsterdam experience, not just a rental. Top 9 reasons to stay at New Holland House:

NEW : Guaranteed early check-in and late check-out. Arrive as early as you like (great for those overnight flights from the USA, Canada or Australia) and leave as late as you like on the departure day. This means you could effectively experience the house and Amsterdam for 4 days for a 2 night stay !

1. Guests rent the entire house. This is extremely rare in Amsterdam - most canal houses have been divided into a number of smaller apartments. There are 2 bedrooms, 2 living rooms (one can be used as a 3rd bedroom), a large dining area, spacious chef's kitchen, 2 bathrooms, a laundry, a quaint patio and more. Basement is excluded.

2. Location, location, location. New Holland House is in the heart of old Jordaan. It overlooks the famous Pulitzer Hotel (of Oceans 12 fame!). Anne Frank House, "De Negen Straatjes" (9 Streets) shopping area, Dam Square/Royal Palace and the old cobbled streets of Jordaan are all at your doorstep. In all directions, restaurants, cafes, art galleries, boutique retail shopping, vibrant markets are all within the immediate vicinity. A supermarket, tram stop and taxi rank is just around the corner!

3. Picture perfect house - quite possibly the most photographed in Amsterdam! The combination of a 1650s monument old merchant's home, beautifully restored, with vibrant seasonal flowers in the window box provides an instant 'Wow' factor. You will be the envy of the passers by who frequently stop on the Prinsengracht to admire the house, and take a quick snap.

4. Daydream away with the canal views. The house is angled to overlook the Prinsengracht (and the Pulitzer Hotel) and the furniture is designed to maximise the aspect. Gaze out from the vintage French seat on the ground floor, the beautiful French desk on the first floor or the luxurious lounge on the first floor. It is truly captivating to watch the Amsterdammers walk, cycle and boat by New Holland House.

5. Unique character and charm - a masterpiece. As Owners, we have invested significant time, effort and cost in acquiring local paintings, furnishings, artefacts, books and antiques to give the house a cosy lived-in charm. Many rental properties (including expensive properties) have a minimalist approach or leave the shelves empty. This house we have made the way we (and Amsterdammers of old) would like to live there - it has a spirit and soul.

6. Hotel quality, 5 star Hotel luxury : linen, towels and product are luxury hotel grade (and acquired directly from hotels or hotel suppliers). Cleaning standards are set at the professional hotel level. Guests receive a welcoming supply of little extras and luxuries including an initial supply of shampoo/conditioner, body wash and soaps - even coffee beans for the machine ! Although the house may be old, it has been beautifully renovated, and includes modern luxuries you would expect - including high speed internet WIFI, Bluray player (together with DVD collection), and Cable TV.

7. Wake up and smell the coffee! Coming from Melbourne, top notch coffee is an absolute must. The Amsterdam designed, Italian made expresso coffee machine grinds the beans fresh for each cup of coffee, is simple to use and makes superb coffee - from an expresso right through to a latte or cappuccino !

8. A fully equipped Chef's kitchen. The kitchen is large, spacious and with everything you need, making cooking in Amsterdam all part of the experience - from an extra large 6 burner stove and oven, to a blender, or Villeroy and boch crockery, its all there ! Try visiting the Noordermarkt farmer's markets on Saturdays, or any number of nearby supermarkets or organic markets to inspire you in the kitchen!

9. Perfect for a flexcation - as the owner frequently likes to do himself, the house is designed to make "working from home" a breeze. Super hi-speed internet (300 mbs plus), monitor, printer and a desk overlooking the canal. Combined with the great location and views, this IS the place for getting the job done!
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Wonderful apartment & great location

This apartment is close to many attractions, restaurants and grocery stores. Our host was responsive whenever we had any questions and provided recommendations on local restaurants. There are 2 flights of steep stairs which would be problematic for anyone with mobility issues. We loved our stay and can't recommend this apartment enough!

Wonderful

Nick was lovely, everything we asked for was arranged quickly and kindly. The house is amazing in its beauty. Perfectly located within walking distance of all the important places. You have to take into account the proximity to the big church whose bells ring every half an hour, 24/7. For those who sleep lightly, this could be a bit of a problem. Other than that everything is really perfect.

Excellent location and "old style' Amsterdam home

My wife and I have been to Amsterdam a few times before and stayed at various hotels in the city in the past. The new Holland House was a different experience because it is an entire house that was constructed long ago, so it has a lot of charm. Additionally, it is in a fantastic location - walking distance to the entire old part of the city. For the drawbacks, the configuration is not perfect - both bedrooms on third floor and both sets of stairs are very narrow and steep. If you have a large suitcase and are not very strong, you will not want to take your suitcase upstairs. The large modern bathroom is on the bottom floor, which means two floors apart from the bedrooms. There is bathroom in between the bedrooms on the third floor but it is relatively small. The back bedroom is quiet but the 'master' bedroom can get somewhat loud with street noise and wind noise. Overall, we would stay there again due to the location, but this is probably not an apartment for families with small children, or older people due to the stairs.

Great house, amazing location, wonderful host! This is an amazing place! Coffee and treats in the fridge were a welcome surprise. Washer and dryer were lifesavers! We had unusual heat during our stay so likely the rare occurrence that AC would’ve been nice. As mentioned on other reviews, the stairs are not for the feint of heart ;-) Narrow and steep and best not to wear socks but shoes or barefoot for better non-slip on the wood. Thanks for the great stay! Highly recommend!

Amazing canal home!

This canal home is just off the street that runs past the canal. You can see the canal from windows on all three levels. It is exceptionally located in the heart of the Jordaan so there are many restaurants and shops close by. There was plenty of room for three of us to spread out. Nick was a great host and was very available. The home has lots of information about the local area and the kitchen is very well stocked. We felt like locals for our week in Amsterdam. One of the best (of many many) rentals for us. Thanks, Nick for all your help!

Great Stay at New Holland House

This property is as-advertised and should be considered by anyone wanting to stay in the Jordaan / Nine Streets area. Mark, the owner, was very responsive from booking on. His son, Nick, is the onsite property manager and was also great. We had only one small request of him during our two week stay and he was there to help within 5 minutes. The house itself is a delightful merchant house with an awesome kitchen (including a Jura coffee maker pre-filled with beans), nice furnishings and decor, and a very interesting book collection. As noted in a few other reviews, the stairs are no joke!! By American standards they might be more accurately described as ladders, but they are quite typical for Dutch houses of this era. Our family (ranging in age from 43 to 8) had no issues with them whatsoever. That said, older visitors or anyone with mobility issues should keep this in mind. Thanks again to Mark and Nick for a wonderful stay. This is a trip we will never forget.
