"Purchased for NZD50. Easy to set up, even without instructions."
Amazing
"Very easy to put together and fold away, one of the best purchases :)"
Perfect size!
"This is the absolute perfect size for our family of 4. I was able to put it up on my own, it pitched up like an umbrella and it took about a minute to do so. We were able to fit two beach chairs and a double beach chair plus a little table and our beach trolley under it without feeling like we were in a marquee! It's honestly the perfect beach tent! High quality and really easy to clean. Definitely worth the money."
Ease of Use
"Amazed at how quickly this can be put up, less than a minute and I’m fully set up at the beach! Love it already"
Spacious and takes a few minutes to set up
"I haven't used it at the beach yet but I set it up at home and only took 5-10 minutes to set up. It's a nice hybrid between a big beach shelter and a mini gazebo."
Great Midsized Shelter
"Great for using while camping when you don’t want to deal with putting a massive shelter up and down. Easy to put up and down and doesn’t take up a lot of space when packed away. Great service from the team at Kathmandu Palmerston North who happily put the shelter up in store for me to look at."
Beach shelter
"Item posted promptly. Thanks!"
Best shelter
"Hands down best shelter ever! Super easy and fast to set up and down! Absolutely happy with my purchase not only does it look great it holds up well. More then enough room for myself and my 3 children. I went for the blue color bcs I felt like a darker shade. The best choice I've ever made this summer. Thank you kathmandu. Brought with a single self inflating mattress a match made in heaven. 100% recommended."
Quick, easy set up!
"EXACTLY what I was hoping for!! I can take this to the lakeside for a day with my dog, set it up and pack away in just a minute, by myself. :) Feels sturdy, is well made, handles dog claws without ripping. . . thus far, lol. Love that I can anchor it down with logs and stones without having to get the pegs out. Haven't bothered with the detachable side. . . lovely airflow through it. And big enough for a few of us with chillybin. I'm very happy!!"
