Danish for “north sea”, Norsø is located in the northern town of Cowes. Perfectly positioned halfway between the famous Penguin Parade and Cowes main street, each less than a 10 minute drive away and only a 10 minute stroll to Red Rocks Beach. It’s love at first sight opening the mint front door to a light filled open plan living and dining room. A wrap around verandah and outdoor entertaining deck area are perfect to soak up that summer sun or retire inside to the cosy fireplace.

Sleeping up to 10, Norsø has four bedrooms, two newly renovated bathrooms and a large open plan living and dining room. With full access to the kitchen and BBQ with cooking utensils, crockery and cutlery provided for all the entertaining you may do while staying in your home away from home. There are also laundry washer and dryer facilities for those in need of washing. All beds needed for your stay will be dressed with fresh sheets, pillows and a doona. One bathroom towel is provided per person is (you may want to bring a beach towel with you). We try our best to keep Norsø stocked with the bare essentials like coffee, tea, sugar, hand soap, washing detergent, laundry powder, shower body wash, toilet paper and firewood although these items do run out from time to time so please let us know if there are items to be restocked :)

There are so many things to do and places to go in and around Phillip Island. Norsø is less than 10 minutes drive from the Penguin Parade which is a MUST DO for all Phillip Island visitors - bring your coats and scarves because it gets chilly in winter! Thompson Avenue is the main street of Cowes town with many cafes, coffee shops, boutiques as well as Coles/Aldi/Woolworths. For the best coffee on the Island head down the road to the lovely ladies at The Store where you will find the most unique homewares and artisan gifts along with a mini florist and bespoke butcher. In winter the best spot to go is Grossard Point to watch the sun go down on the western whale watching point in Ventnor, or bare the winds at Nobbies to see the blowhole and stunning seascape views at the edge of the Island. For all you surfies there’s the popular Smiths Beach and Cape Woolamai, you can book surfing lessons in at Smiths over summer too. Phillip Island Chocolate factory and Rhyll’s fishing are the perfect places to take your family if you’re in need of a day away from the stunning beaches that wrap around the entire Island.
Enjoy everything that Phillip Island has to offer!
