About this property
Boat 'Wunderschönes Tiny Hausboot Undine' with Shared Terrace and Wi-Fi
Tiny houseboat with roof terrace and cozy wood stove built on site in 2023 with ecological and local building materials. Get close to the water here! Comfort included: high-quality fitted wardrobes, kitchenette, shower room, 1.60 m wide bed on the mezzanine, 1.60 m wide sofa bed, oak flooring, electric barbecue. Suitable for 2-4 people. Free WLAN on board. Contact us with any questions! We look forward to seeing you.
Like our other Tiny Houseboats, UNDINE also has an 18 square meter open living area. You can reach the 5 square meter sleeping area via a ladder. Meike and Bernd are the owners of this houseboat, on whose behalf we built it and are now renting it out. "Undine" is of Old High German or Latin origin and means "wave", it is also the name of a semi-divine water spirit or mermaid from mythology - the name says it all, because you are very close to the water on a houseboat vacation.
The mattress on the top sleeping level is a nice 1.60 m wide, and the sofa bed downstairs in the living area can also be folded out to 1.60 m. It also has a "relax" position so that you can comfortably put your feet up in the evening and look out over the water through floor-to-ceiling windows. There is a small seating area inside and one outside on the breakfast terrace, and on the roof terrace you will also find two great rocking deckchairs and enjoy a good view. High-quality cupboards provide storage space. The kitchenette has everything you need for easy cooking: Sink, 2-plate induction stove, fridge, portafilter coffee machine (but also a French press for making coffee), crockery etc. The bathroom has a full-size shower and a water closet, which is hardly any different from the normal toilet at home. The floor-to-ceiling windows allow you to look out over the water and enjoy the front-row berth. Both underfloor heating and a fireplace keep the boat, which is well insulated with wood wool, cozy and warm on cold days.
Our houseboats are moored in the Diamantgraben, a short branch of the Elbe in the south of Hamburg. When the weather is fine, a pleasure boat or canoe will pass by and the odd water bird can also be spotted.
On this tiny houseboat, you can let the sun shine on your belly, have deep conversations on balmy summer evenings, enjoy being in silence, pop champagne corks while laughing - simply experience something completely different, a special vacation, a little break from everyday life. You can also go swimming right on site.
Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Es war eine ganz tolle Erfahrung und mal was ganz anderes!
Pros: Der Blick von den bodentiefen Fenstern direkt aufs Wasser. Morgens wird man von Enten begrüßt. Die Dachterrasse war auch mega!
sehr gepflegtes komfortables, gut ausgestattetes Tiny-Hausboot in nettem Hafen, ein großes Erlebnis war der große Tidenunterschied von bis zu 4 m, der Ausblick ins Grüne auf die Elbausbuchtung (Diamantgraben) war sehr schön. Der Standort lädt ein zu Ausflügen ins nicht-touristische Hamburg. Wir sind viel Fahrrad gefahren und mit der S-Bahn bis in die Hamburger Innenstadtbezirke. Der Sbhf Harburg hat ein P&R-Parkhaus, welches für 2 /24 Std nutzbar ist, mit der dichtgetakteten Sbahn ist man binnen 20 min am Hbf Hamburg, es gibt auch einen Bus, der stündlich fast vom Hausboot-Hafen bis Sbhf Rathaus Harburg fährt. Mit Regiozügen kommt man bis Cuxhaven, ins Alte Land und in die Lüneburger Heide. Also insgesamt ein sehr günstig und schön gelegener Standort für alles, was man in HH und Umgebung machen will. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
Bei schönem Wetter eine besondere Erfahrung! Für die Leiter zur Dachterrasse und zur Schafempore muss man etwas sportlich sein. Das Boot liegt schön im Grünen, für die nächtlichen Verkehrs-Geräusche liegen gute Ohrstöpsel bereit.
Schöne Unterkunft, tolles Ambiente, mit dem Auto schnell in der Innenstadt und bei den umliegenden Einkaufsläden.
Ein Auto oder Fahrräder sind zu empfehlen.
Gerne wieder 😊
