About Us.
Compass Hut was founded by sisters Kylie and Tamika Bell in early 2019, nestled on the corner of their family’s organic farm on Tasmania’s North West Coast.
The idea for Compass Hut began as an opportunity for Kylie, a recent Bachelor of Architecture graduate, to explore sustainable and innovative approaches to small-scale living through the emerging concept of tiny houses on wheels. The tiny house accommodation became the foundation for a new agritourism experience — bringing together thoughtful design, sustainability, and the unique landscape of the family farm.
The family’s connection to this land began in 2001, when Kylie and Tamika’s parents moved from South Australia to Tasmania after falling in love with the agricultural landscape and climate of the Forth region. What started as a passion for organic farming has since grown into a place where visitors can slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience a more sustainable way of living.
Since opening, Compass Hut has continued to evolve, with the sisters’ shared passions expanding into exploring hybrid and off-grid energy solutions, self-sufficiency, low-impact living, and the future of sustainable agritourism.
Today, Compass Hut is proudly operated by a small family team, with Kylie as your main host. She divides her time between welcoming guests, developing the gardens, and continuing to create a unique and thoughtful accommodation experience.
Beyond Compass Hut, Kylie’s greatest passions are exploring Tasmania’s wilderness and travelling further afield. Through hiking, photography, and storytelling, she loves sharing the landscapes and experiences that inspire her — often bringing those adventures back into the Compass Hut experience for guests to enjoy.
During your stay, you’ll also discover artwork created by Tamika through Bell Studio, thoughtfully incorporated throughout the tiny house. Tamika is an emerging artist with a passion for portraiture, exploring emotion and connection through a variety of artistic mediums.
Compass Hut is more than just a place to stay — it is a reflection of family, creativity, sustainability, and a deep connection to the Tasmanian landscape.
Compass Hut is a 100% off-grid, boutique, family-operated Tiny House accommodation business located in Central North Coast region of Tasmania.
