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.

Quite possibly the most photographed in Amsterdam! The combination of a 1690s monument old merchant's home (in the world heritage listed central canal ring), 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.

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. Here, you can easily "nikksen down" (do nothing) for hours!

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.

The house works perfectly as a "Amsterdam desk" while you Work from Home. The vintage French desk upstairs overlooks the Pulitzer Hotel. The large dining table is ideal for meetings. The WIFI is extremely fast (300 + Mbps). A large curved monitor, printer and office essentials are all on hand. Trust us when we say this is a dream place to work!

Coming from Melbourne, arguably the coffee capital of the world, top notch coffee is an absolute must. The bespoke Makina machine is Amsterdam designed and tailor made in Italy. It makes superb coffee - from an expresso right through to a latte or cappuccino ! Few apartments in Amsterdam would have invested in coffee like New Holland House !
8. A fully equipped Chef's kitchen

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!

Guests are welcome to use (without additional cost) the owner's top range Batavas Personal Bikes. These have been selected because they are unisex, reliable, easy to use and easy to adjust the seat height ..... and they look great! The cost of 2 rental bikes would be around Euro 25 per day, and not of this quality. This is a real bonus that is unique to New Holland House.

Linen, towels and products are luxury hotel grade (and acquired directly from hotels or hotel suppliers). Guests receive a welcoming supply of Amsterdam based luxury brand Marie Stella-Maris shampoo/conditioner, body wash and soaps. There is also an initial supply of toilet paper, dish washing tablets, washing machine powder, spare garbage bags - even coffee beans for the machine ! Most short term rentals in Amsterdam do not supply all of these items. 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.
