where the cows made room for  three apartments and where a number of boats were purchased for boat rental. This was the beginning of our family business. A few years later, another lunchroom was added. After a major renovation in 2006, 'de Grachthof' was created. Now we are still as a family at the helm of this cozy and atmospheric restaurant with boat rental, right in the center of Giethoorn and on the village canal. As a family in Giethoorn, we know better than anyone how to make your day in Giethoorn unforgettable!
