In the heart of the historic village Hollum you will find the Hotel-Café De Walvisvaarder of Ameland. The name of the hotel is a tribute to the Ameland whalers. Around 1719 the islanders started hunting whales, a risky job but a good source of income. The many Commodore houses on the island remind of this prosperous time. Commodore Barend Hansz caught 151 whales in total.
Hotel de Walvisvaarder has double rooms with excellent beds. The rooms are tastefully and nicely furnished and have a private shower, toilet and a television. The old-fashioned cosy cafe on the ground floor is a typical place where islanders and visitors meet and have the fun until the early hours.
