We had never stayed on a river barge so it was a great experience. Beautifully set up.
Warm and cosy. Fantastic comfortable bed....”

“Nice cozy place to sleep while staying at Gent. It was near the city center but away enaugh from the noise.

“We were given the Sailor room. The boat provided an unusual accommodation option. It was cosy but the bedroom was spacious. The space on the top deck enabled us to sit and watch the world go by. The breakfast was very generous in size and choice....”

Boat
The boat has two rooms. One at the back (the Captains room) and on at the front (The sailors room). The original build date boat is 1960, but the renovation to a houseboat started at 2005.
I'm not always available or on the boat. So it is best that you send me a text the day before check-in when you would arrive. It can be possible that I have to do the check-in by phone, we'll see each other probably later that day.
The boat is situated in a 10 min walk to the center. The location itself is on the outskirts between the center and the 'Brugse Poort'.
