Ecoluxe Accommodation Details

The Green Tunnel is a ground-floor ecoluxe two-room accommodation with floor-to-ceiling windows offering sweeping views across the IJmeer lake. It includes a main sleeping area with an organic fairtrade double bed and a second sleeping room with another double bed behind the kitchenette. The space features a flat-screen TV, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a kitchenette with a combi microwave oven, refrigerator, and tea/coffee facilities. The bathroom contains organic towels, soap, and shampoo.

Waterfront Outdoor Spaces

This solar-powered urban villa features direct canal access via a private jetty to 'The Green Tunnel' waterway. Guests have full use of a lush waterside garden and floating terrace with lawn chairs. Natural swimming is available in the canal water year-round. The property is surrounded by parkland that supports local bird species, fish, rabbits, and foxes.

IJburg Location Access

Located on Amsterdam's IJburg waterfront, the accommodation is 500 meters from Nijlpaardsluis and mall IJburg, 1 km from Strand Diemerpark city beach and Haveneiland-Oost, and 1.5 km from Enneus Heerma Bridge. Tram 26 stops 2 minutes away at Vennepluimstraat, providing 15-minute service to Amsterdam Central Station. A free private parking space is available on-site, avoiding Amsterdam's expensive parking fees.

Wellness & Local Experiences

Host Roel offers connective tissue massages combined with cranial therapy, using palo santo scent rituals and preparing meditation. Guests receive a curated Green Tunnel Playlist. The hosts provide guidance on avoiding tourist traps and exploring IJburg's modern architecture, including the Sluishuis building with 200 steps leading to panoramic views of Amsterdam and the lake.

Sustainable Design Features

Built using sustainable architecture techniques, the villa operates on solar power and is decorated with eco-friendly and vintage items. The accommodation uses an eco lighting system throughout. Baby facilities including beds are available at no extra charge. The property is part of IJburg's ecological corridor designed by city biologists to support local wildlife.

“This Amsterdam eco-lodge appeals to those seeking serenity without sacrificing city access, near the canal and with a quick tram downtown. I appreciate its commitment to sustainability, from solar power to wellness offerings. The family-friendly suites, coupled with the waterside garden, create a unique sense of escape within the urban landscape.”
