I’m Tracey — founder of The Sustainable Host, sustainability educator, tiny home trailblazer, regional changemaker… and crazy dog mum.
From living off-grid in a bus with my three kids to building tiny homes that support farm incomes, my journey has never followed the conventional path. I’ve sold everything, left corporate life behind, and built a business (and a lifestyle) around the belief that less can truly mean more — more freedom, more joy, more impact.
As President of the Blackwood Chamber of Commerce and Chair of several companies and organisations, I advocate for a future where rural communities thrive, sustainable tourism flourishes, and every individual has the tools to live meaningfully and mindfully.
Through The Sustainable Host, I combine my love of design, education, and sustainability to help others build lives and businesses that are lighter on the planet but richer in purpose.
If you’re ready to break free from “normal,” explore the tiny life, or build something bold — welcome. You’re in the right place.
At the heart of everything I do is one guiding belief:
Sustainability starts with self-care.
Whether you’re dreaming of financial freedom through tiny living, building an off-grid retreat, or transforming your business to be future-fit — I’m here to help you do it with intention and impact.
At The Sustainable Host, we empower individuals, families, and hosts to live lighter, lead with purpose, and embrace the freedom of conscious living. Whether you’re just starting out or already living small, we’re here to support your journey with insight, tools, and real-world know-how.
Sustainable Living
Sustainability starts at home — and in the choices we make every day. We provide resources, products, and services to help you create an eco-friendly lifestyle that aligns with your values. From reducing waste and simplifying your space to making mindful consumer choices, we guide you in adopting habits that benefit both you and the planet.
Tiny Home Living & Investing
Minimalist living meets maximum sustainability. Whether you’re dreaming of a tiny home on wheels, a cosy off-grid retreat, or an alternative dwelling that reflects your lifestyle, we offer the inspiration, education, and connections to make it happen — beautifully and consciously.
Green Airbnb Hosting
Turn your short-term rental into an eco-friendly escape. We help you create guest-friendly spaces that reduce waste, improve energy efficiency, and attract environmentally conscious travellers. Our coaching helps you design sustainable stays that guests love — and that pay you back.
Workshops & Courses
Learn to live, work, and grow with intention. Our online courses and in-person workshops help you build the skills, confidence, and clarity to make sustainability part of your everyday life — and your long-term vision.
Regional Advocacy
As a leader in sustainable tourism and community development, we advocate for local policy reform, food security, and regenerative business. We’re passionate about building systems that support rural communities and future-fit enterprises.
Author & Educator
Through books, blogs, toolkits, and speaking engagements, we turn complex ideas into simple, actionable steps — helping you take real-world action toward the life (and world) you want to create.
Explore, Learn & Take Action
Our blog is packed with practical advice, lived experiences, and insights from across the sustainability spectrum — from tiny house living to green business, regenerative travel to mindset shifts.
Sustainability is about progress, not perfection. We provide the knowledge, tools, and community support to help you make meaningful changes — whether in your home, your business, or your Airbnb.
