This is by far the best tent I have had. Wether it was just myself, 2 kids with me or 5 it has been great. It's easy to set up and take down alone and very wind proof. It has two winged doors which can opt as verandahs. You will need to purchase one more set of awning poles for this otherwise just use the front as a verandah using the set of poles it comes with. I was finding it hard to choose between this and the Takahe 8 but I'm so glad I purchased this Takahe 6. The space is just as good only very slightly smaller and there's really no need for the extra sunroom at the front as the winged door verandah works just as good. Especially if you also use a gazebo. There are plenty of pockets for gear and mesh doors on all doors. There are also mesh windows and sky light windows at the top in the middle room. The side windows have PVC covers for the rain. Really great tent.

The gutter is a great addition to our shelter when camping with friends, being able to join shelters gives that bit of extra space when it’s raining.

Love our chillax chairs. Nice and comfy, but also practical (can eat dinner at the table with out sinking )

This tent is AMAZING!! Used for 8weeks straight, and pitched up in Central Otago (overlooking Clyde dam) while I did an orchard season. Pitched on unforgiving ground, endured some epic wind spells and a good rain/hail storm, this tent stood up to it all!! I honestly can't rave about this tent enough, everyone who was living around me in cabins etc were very impressed and mentioned often 'best advertisement' for this tent/brand. It definitely fooled other tenters new to the area, 'well that tent is OK let's put ours up next to it'....yup next wind they were slapped up against mine oops. The blackout feature is a bonus and worth it. On the site i pitched it we used cut down warratahs with D shackles for main fixing points as we knew about hard ground/wind etc yeah we really tested this tent....secondary pegs were from H&F then standard tent pegs for the rest of guy ropes. The pegs that come with tent are ample though for a more kinder camp site of grass :-) as I did test run on backyard before venturing Central. The 3 rooms ideal I used as storage/living/bedroom and front porch as kitchen space.

I Love it and am 100 % satisfied !
