New holiday property: The Modern Houseboat, Berlin

The Modern Houseboat offers a unique opportunity to discover the adventure of life on water while unwinding and taking in the natural surroundings of the city of Berlin.

Located on Lake Rummelsburg, a small bay in the river Spree, there is hardly a more unique place to stay in Berlin: the entire front facing the bay opens up through huge windows with views of the city and the landmark TV tower on the horizon. You feel completely removed from the bustle of the city yet it only takes 15 minutes to the centre of Berlin.

The boat features a contemporary and minimal interior so as not to distract the eye from the amazing view through the floor-to-ceiling windows covering the entire front of the boat. Much of the furniture including the sofas and the beds are custom-made.

The houseboat sleeps two plus two children.
