RoW was a delightful exoerience. Out of all of the options we found this was the most representative of the history involving Rotterdam's maritime history. The Owner provided phenomenal communication, answering all questions in detail and throughly. She also privided us with an account of the work done on the Wilhemina and scrumptious breakfasts!

Going Dutch

A unique opportunity to stay in the heart of a busy city ... on a large, well-equipped house boat. The Wilhelmina III really is pretty big ... 6.5 metres across the bows, with 2 sets of bedrooms divided by a corridor. The shared living/ dining pace is generous, warm and very comfortable. For anyone concerned about motion in the water, this is stable dock with minimal water traffic. The owner is also warm, friendly and welcoming. It feels more like a homestay, which, with the owner living at one end of the vessel, it really is.

Fantastisk sted med høj standard

Helt fantastisk sted med en meget sød og hjælpsom vært. Morgenmaden er frisklavet efter eget ønske. Båden ligger helt perfekt midt i byen, men stadigvæk er der stille og roligt. Dette sted kan kun anbefales og vi kommer sikkert igen en vi anden gang.

Super ervaring hier!

Super ontvangst en aangepast aan mijn reis schema. Centrale ligging en klassieke b&b visie in een modern proper jasje! Beveiligde inkom en privé kamer (met eigen badkamer) ook af te sluiten.
