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 10 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. Amsterdammer bikes included. 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.

10. 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!

Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
This smoke-free vacation home offers a stereo, books, and games. Amenities include a video library and a music library.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

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!

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.

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!

Very disappointed
Property was not nearly as nice as advertised. Stair rail was falling off the wall (a very dangerous situation with the steep and narrow stairs; they finally fixed it in the 3rd or 4th day there), mold all over shower curtain, the fold our bed was filthy with no bed linens (we found some but they were stained and dirty), and one night there was a very loud party well past midnight.

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.

Very cool old canal house, perfect location
We just returned from a week stay at the New Holland house and it was great. The house is perfectly located about 2 blocks from the Anne Frank House and makes the entire city accessible by walking or public transportation. There are great food and shopping options close to the house too if you don't want to go too far. There was a little glitch on arrival - nothing big, just a mix up of who had the keys due to some maintenance issue they were addressing just before we arrived (broken microwave plate - nothing big!). After a cup of coffee at the hotel next door, however, we were in and set. The house was clean and had everything you could need. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes and cooking supplies if you need. There are several markets within a couple of blocks to stock up on supplies in the kitchen as you'd need. There was ample coffee and tea already in the house. The sheets and towels were all clean and comfortable and the house feels lived in and inviting. One notable thing about the layout of the house. As expected in an almost 300 year old multiple renovated European house, the layout is a bit strange. The larger of the two bathrooms is on the first floor off the kitchen. There is a small, perfectly usable bathroom on the 3rd floor near the bedrooms, but it is SMALL. It does have a toilet, sink and shower though. A careful note about the stairs...they are no joke. They are narrow and twisty. If you have ANY difficulty navigating stairs (bad knees, etc.) you may want to reconsider this location. Even without any trouble going up and down, we definitely found ourselves planning ahead before going up or down to make sure we had everything we might need as to not have to go back again. Getting luggage up and down is certainly a challenge. All in all, though, this is one of the coolest places we have ever stayed in Europe and you truly feel like you are living in Amsterdam for your time there. I would highly recommend the house!

We needed a last-minute place to rent for just a few days, Mark was so accommodating and we were able to instantly book it as we boarded the flight, we were traveling standby! It’s a wonderful cozy home, it was perfect for us and we had three people. The stairs are indeed very steep but we managed them just fine. Great neighborhood within walking distance to many shops and cafés, loved the bells from the Westerkerk nearby and it was the perfect way to find our way back. Lidia and Dirk were gracious hosts, check in and out were smooth and Lidia provided good shopping advice. Wonderful stay!
