Ferry house on the IJ
Aambeeldstraat 8, 1021 KB Amsterdam,
Hidden in a private harbor in Amsterdam North is a very special meeting location: Veerhuis aan het IJ
Have a meeting, take a workshop, celebrate your birthday or get married while watching boats sail by and looking out over the IJ. Hidden in the private harbor of GVB Veren in Amsterdam-Noord, the Veerhuis aan het IJ is one of the most hidden places in the city. The Veerhuis is a former staff home that is fully equipped as a meeting and event location. A stone's throw from the house you will see the GVB ferries that are maintained here and that offers all kinds of additional possibilities! Would you like to have your guests picked up from Central Station by the historic IJveer ferry from 1957? Fishing lessons from GVB skipper Richard? Everything is possible! Kick off your shoes and let the grass tickle between your toes, enjoy the private feeling in the small harbor and let the peace wash over you at the Veerhuis.
Conference rooms
Now there are sturdy wooden conference tables, inviting seating areas and cozy houseplants, but not so long ago the Veerhuis consisted of two staff homes for GVB employees. This cozy 'home' feeling is still there due to the great architecture and the attractive gardens. The two houses, Stuurslaan and Bakslaan, both have a garden right on the IJ where there is a stretch tent with patio heaters all year round. A house is rented exclusively for your group, which brings peace and the necessary comfort.
Food and drink
In the Veerhuis the catering is provided by the regular caterer Lisa Diephuis (Lisa's Liefde). Lisa's Liefde is known for the casual but elegant style and presentation of her dishes. Many of the products that Lisa's Liefde uses are from local producers, organic, fresh, sustainable and seasonal. Lisa's Liefde is happy to tailor the catering to the wishes of the guest and lovingly creates a tailor-made arrangement.
