It is centrally located, it’s accessible from Rotterdam Blaak. It’s a great experience, we enjoyed the boat house very much. The house is complete and everything you need is already provided.

Maryline Singapore

The idea of introducing the people to the tiny house concept is spectacular. The house/accommodation served that purpose perfectly. It opens ones eyes at the possibility of changing the concept of greater space where a smaller one will do just fine. Amazing place and location. We loved it!

Shereen Netherlands

Amazing location, close to city center and all attractions. Very interesting concept of a boat house. Option to rent add-on's like small boat or Jacuzzi or bike. Good communication with owner.

Alexsam1980 Netherlands

It was an unique experience in a fantastic little cation

Anna Canada

Great location near the market hall. We booked #2 with the hot tub and it was amazing...to sit outside on a night with a beautiful moon and be warm in December!

Andrea United States of America

Very comfortable space and great location. Would definitely stay here again if coming back to Rotterdam.

May United States of America

The beamer to watch movies, coffee maker and generally the mixture of an efficient tiny house and a luxury home. Wikkelboats is an excellent concept. Amazing floorplan, lots of room. Great location, close to market hall and old harbor. Very comfortable beds.

Caroline Germany

It was an absolute private place. and very special place to stay just one night in a whole life.

Jungdam South Korea

Great accommodation and concept! We all really enjoyed out night on the Wikkelboat. The amenities were great, it was easy to find, the communication was fantastic and it was a very comfortable stay for the 3 of us.

Emma Netherlands

Our little family had a lovely stay at wikkelboat. The tiny houses are stunning and the location exceptionnal. Jaccuzi experience in the winter in the city centre won’t be forgotten, kids loved it. House is as expected well reflected on and you can enjoy every spaces. Should come back in summer time for a bbq on the terrace deck. It was very quiet and we all slept well.

Captains Jelle & Sander
The Wikkelboat is a unique tiny houseboat made of cardboard, but then made water resistant with some great Dutch design:-) You definitely will love a stay....almost all commodities are aboard and you've your own private terrace and unique view over the waterside. The Wikkelboat consists of 2 roms with each a luxurious 2 persons bed. At daytime the beds are standing against the walls, but at night you can easily pull them to the flor, with the help of hydraulic pumps. It sleeps max. 4 people.
Jelle and Sander are the owners of the Wikkelboat and it's harbour, the Red Apple Marina.
Wikkelboat is located in a beautiful small harbour in the middle of the city of Rotterdam. The area, called Maritime District, is ful of skyscrapers, water and history and all public transport hubs are juist around the corner! A perfect stepping stone for exploring The Netherlands!
