A nice apartment with a luxury feel to it. The owner has a great eye for details. The bed was comfy and the kitchen complete (some herbs & spices, dishwashing soap, paper towels, etc.). From the living room, great view of the sea and Stavanger in...

Very convenient to visit Preikestolen, 20 mins away by car. It makes sense to leave before 8 a.m., so no tourist buses are there yet. It also makes sense to stay an extra day and enjoy the facilities and views after hiking. We felt at home – we...

Norse Horizon is a modern, ground‑floor apartment located in the heart of Tau, approximately 20 km from the famous Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) hiking trail. The apartment was completed in 2025 and combines clean Norwegian design with practical comfort. Inside, you’ll find two separate bedrooms, a bright living area, and a fully equipped kitchen suitable for everyday cooking. Large windows and the open layout create a calm, airy atmosphere, with views towards the sea and the Stavanger skyline in the distance. The apartment is prepared with crisp white bed linen, fresh towels, and carefully selected amenities, including Rituals toiletries. A private terrace just outside the living area gives you a quiet place to sit, enjoy the fresh air, and take in the surroundings after a day of hiking or exploring the region. Public parking is available directly behind the building, and public transport is close by, making it easy to get around whether you’re heading towards Preikestolen, Lysefjorden, or Stavanger.
My name is Håvard, and I’ve been welcoming guests to Tau since 2016. Hosting started as a family project with our sea‑view villa, and Norse Horizon is a natural continuation of that journey. I focus on offering a stay that feels easy, well organised, and comfortable. The apartment is fully self‑catering, but I’m always available if you have questions, need local recommendations, or want tips for hikes and day trips. I pay close attention to the details that matter, so you can relax and enjoy your time here without unnecessary friction.
Norse Horizon is located in a quiet and pleasant part of Tau, with easy access to both nature and everyday amenities. Right next to the apartment, you’ll find a small playground, a park, and an old mill that adds a bit of local character to the area. Within walking distance are grocery stores, cafés, restaurants, and a pharmacy, so everything you need during your stay is close at hand. Tau is an excellent base for exploring the region. Preikestolen and Lysefjorden are easily reached by car, offering world‑class hiking and fjord experiences. Stavanger is about a 30‑minute drive away through the Ryfast tunnel, where you can enjoy city life, museums, restaurants, and coastal walks. Whether you’re here for hiking, nature, or a quiet break close to the fjord, Norse Horizon offers a comfortable and well‑located base for your stay.
