I have bought two lights last Dec. Doing a really good job in my camping and outdoor adventures. Children love it. The lights are strong and cover a reasonable area. It gives a new look to the camp site. Of course, you need battery storage to run the lights. Easy to use, perfect storage and the cover packs it nicely. I will soon order yet another set. Recommend for camping, outdoor and even sporting event.

I purchased this bed end of last year for my big camping adventure in Dec 2024. The decision to purchase this particular product triggered by the difficulty of my wife to sleep on the floor, she needs something high up. I am happy with the product as it does the job for us. The other real advantages of the bed are easy transport, set up is convenient and the sleep is very comfy. It gives a new outlook to the tent as well. All guys in my camping adventure really admired the bed. Storage is convenient too as all you need is to pack it away and hide inside somewhere in the house. I highly recommend the product if you have any back issue or can't sleep on the floor or on other types of air beds. But two negative points to be aware of. First, it's folding back is a real problem. I had to struggle to fold it back to the original position after use. I have emptied air from the mattress but it does not fold back fully. It is not possible to put the zip back on. I had to work manually by pressing and squeezing the mattress. So difficult to put the zip back on. I mean, to put the bed inside its cover, a lot of hard work is needed. This was a real nightmare. The second concern is that you need a heavy air pump (No experience) or a wall power outlet to make the bed and to fold it back after use. A manual pump will not do the job. Lucky if you have access to a wall power socket which is a real luxury in a remote camp site. You really need something like portable power station (with solar panels to charge the battery) to make the bed and fold it back. This is a real disadvantage of the product as it does not come with a suitable pump and battery storage. Do not decide to buy this product unless you have decided on an effective mechanism (like what I said earlier) to pump air in and take it out. The Goal Zero power station and solar panels (cost about $1,000) is something you should go for if you can afford it. Otherwise, do NOT make investment on this folding bed regardless of its luxury. I have the Yeti 200 power station which is really handy to go with the folding bed. Otherwise, the product is well worthy the investment. I have already used it on 2-3 occasions including a long camping adventure and as an additional bed for my three grand children to sleep on when they visit me.

This is a fantastic tent. I spent the last 3 days hiking through the Kaimai ranges in extreme weather. Both nights had heavy rain and the Weka 2 tent was awesome. No leaks at all. The floor on the second night was seeping through a little, but it was extreme rain and might have been my ground sheet placement rather than the tent. Easy to set up, plenty of space and great for 1 person. With space outside for your pack beside you and for all your crap Ha ha. I highly recommend this tent to a single person hiker.

We have used this tent twice now, and it ticks all the boxes for us. The set up is really simple and you get the hang of it quickly. The rooms are spacious, we used one with 2 single stretchers and had plenty of space between the beds. The other room had a queen size sleeping mat and also had enough space for a suitcase/bag at the end. There are pockets everywhere which were really handy to store phones, charger cords and essentials. The tent is very dark, which made it super easy to put the kids to bed at nighttime but is also really dark during the day so a good lantern in each room is essential. A great sized tent with all the features you need!

We spent a loooong time finding the right tent for us! We settled on Kiwi Camping pretty early, but couldn't decide between the Takahe 10 or 15. Being able to view these tents fully constructed (we're in Chch) really helped. In the end, we opted for the 10. The 15 was great, but was massive! It's unlikely to fit on many camp ground sites. The 10 worked a treat! The blackout was an added luxury that was totally worth it! In short: we're very happy with our purchase. But read on if you want a bit more info to help in making your own decision. Nothing beats practical experience right?! The build instructions may need an update as there were a couple of challenges that weren't explained: the strap and clips that connected the two poles on either side of the sunroom took us a while to figure out, also, the idea of laying out the fly inside the tent for pack up is a good idea, but seems impractical given the double doors (and therefore central "pillar" of each set of doors) that means spreading out the fly isn't possible (but don't change the double doors - they're great!). We slept two adults and two kids in the tent. We ran the stretchers and inflatable mattresses lengthways (so each person had a door at their head). This worked pretty well as we kept the internal bedroom doors open (first time camping for our 8 and 5 year old). The Takahe 15 would be better suited if you want to shut the bedroom doors and keep the same sleep orientation. I'm 1.85m tall and the sleep orientation worked, but I noticed my sleeping matt (10cm thick, self-inflating) would have been rubbing up against the door if I had it shut. Not a deal-breaker for the 10, but worth a mention. We had a lot of drizzle and some rain. The tent held up well. No moisture inside the tent. We had to tweak the pegs for the sunroom entrance after the first night of rain as we'd had some pooling on the sunroom floor. This was the result of the entrance flap being velcroed to the floor of the sunroom. We didn't have the flap tight enough so the entrance flap sagged on the sunroom floor and water was able to run down this, and enter the sunroom through the velrco connection. We found it necessary to move the pegs for the entrance further out and avoid sealing the entrance against the floor velcro to ensure water didn't enter the sunroom. My suggestion for future improvements would be to move the velcro on the entrance flap a little higher up to ensure the entrance overhangs the groundsheet. But moving the pegs worked well...and it could be our inexperience in pitching this tent that led this easily resolved challenge. The benefit of the 15 is the sunroom is fully enclosed as part of the tent. The 10's sunroom is a groundsheet covered by a fly. For us this worked well. We used the sunroom as a type of porch before moving into the tent. It meant the sleeping areas could be kept bug free, but we could still get quick access to things like food and drinks which we kept in the sunroom. The dream would be an inflatable blackout Takahe 10. Inflatables go up and come down so quickly! But the size of the 10, the layout (kids one end, adults at the other) and the other features don't make me regret our decision. ...oh, and stringing up fairy lights inside the tent was a big win! It's truly dark inside this tent. You're going to need a torch to find things if you've got all the windows closed ;)
