Great tent, great Snowy's Service!
Really great tent for the price, excellent quality with lots of space for sleeping mats but also a general area in the middle. Pretty quick to go up once you're used to assembling - goes down easily too.
Recommend both the tent but also the fantastic Snowy's customer service/quick shipping.
Tore first go
Unfortunately my tent has torn first use which is very disappointing. I haven't tried to return it yet, but since I was asked for a review....

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that Rich. When you have a sec, please shoot us an email (service@snowys.com.au) with a few more details and a couple of photos of the tear and we'll get back to you right away with the best gameplan for your return. Laine :)
Brilliant
We have two young children, of which this tent is perfect for. The additional room for storage and changing is awesome!
We had rain one night, of which we stayed dry and warm....can't recommend this tent highly enough.
Perfect family tent
First time family camping - 2 adults, 2 kids. Away for three week, but moving all the time - some places we only stayed 1 night. We fell in love with the tent on our holiday - heaps of room, solid, easy to put up and down, love the wheely bag.
Debut at robe
Had 10 days camping in Robe, one of these days was a massive downpour with decent winds and the tent held up great.
Great tent
We have never camped before but bought this tent and used it for the first time earlier this week with our 3 boys and are very happy with our purchase. Easy to put up and lots of room inside - we really like the 3 rooms. It was a very windy night on our first night but the tent survived just fine. The only thing I would say about the fly is that it would be great if it had ventilation openings on the front windows as well as the side windows. Great service st Snowys, the man who served is was very knowledgable. We bought it in the Boxing Day sale and our only complaint would be that the price was reduced further only a few weeks later!!
A rock solid gem
Took this tent camping in 2015 with my 14 year old son and I to Fingal Bay. Hubby couldn't come with us, but we were able to put the tent up easily by ourselves. Storm number 1 hit within 5 mins of set up, but we were warm and dry in the tent. Next night, terrifyingly, we had another torrential downpour and wind gusts up to 60-80 km per hour that severely buffeted our tent around. Thought we would get blown away for sure - it was a pretty awful night. We had no tarp, - but just the fly to protect us. Next day- all the campers and caravans had ripped awnings. leaks and damage and I was proud to say that this remarkable tent held true- not a rip or tear and we were warm and dry. I was pretty amazed to say the least..we still have the tent and take it camping every year to Culburra Beach or 12 nights- it's a great feeling knowing it can withstand major storms. Not only that but the ventilation system in the tent keeps it warm in winter and cool ins summer- don't know how,- but it just does. You don't wake in a stuffy tent. Love this tent.
Fantastic

Sales, price and delivery all no hassles. Mind boggling confusion at first at how to set up but 'read the instructions'. A colour photo of the assembled tent would be helpful. Not real sure how to properly peg the fly down to maximise ventilation while preserving weatherproofing or how to put the awning up. Doesn't seem to be any ropes to guy the awning poles. Biggest disappointments - one of the seams let go during assembly without over stressing. 100mm tear. Will test warranty claims.

G'day John, I'm sorry to hear one of the seams gave way during setup. Bit unusual for the Chalet 9 - usually fairly bomb-proof. If you have a second, could you please send us an email (service@snowys.com.au) with a couple of photos of the tear? We'd really like to get onto the case right away. Thanks, Laine :)
Excellent Family Trent
This is an awesome tent for our family of 4. Heaps of room, great ventilation in summer, not too cold in winter (as we just found out), also has no trouble in wind or rain. Setup and pack up also very easy for two people.
differenece between 420D polyoxford vs Polyethylene1 answer
I am comparing the Coleman Chalet vs Coleman instant up gold 10p I see the waterproof rating is the same with these 2 tents. I prefer the traditional tent vs the instant up tents. I feel the Chalet would be more equipped to manage high winds than the instant tents range. Which of these 2 tents have higher water rating for the floor materials? thank you for answering my question.
G'day Darren,
Unfortunately, there is no waterhead rating provided for either these polyoxford or polyethylene floors. However, feedback has told us that both provide an incredible barrier against water. In all honesty, I don't think you could go wrong with either on floor materials with these two tents.
You're spot on in terms of wind, in that the Chalet 9 CV will provide greater structural support due to its design, however again, the Instant Up range has proven (when set up with guy ropes) to be a very durable tent through weather conditions. The obvious upside to the Instant Up is the setup time and the time you save.
Extras1 answer
Hi, I was wondering if you also sell the added on vestibule? As in the Chalet 9 CV Plus. If so how much is it? Thank you.
G'day Lisa,
The Chalet 9 CV Plus model was discontinued a while ago, and as far as I can find out from the supplier, the vestibule is not available as a separate item to purchase.
Led light1 answer
Hi, I also had a look at the colemans site at this tent and they list a permanently attached led light on the chalet tent. I was wondering where this is and how it is permanently attached? Or do you have a version of this tent that doesn't have one, as my friend has this tent and it doesn't have a light. Thanks
Hi Liz. Thanks for your question. The Chalet 9 CV Family Dome Tent has a small LED light on a lanyard which is placed just inside the door with the function to allow you to find your way inside the tent when it is dark. It isn't really designed as a light that will illuminate your tent at night time, however there are tent lights on the market that can do this for you, or you could simply use a lantern to do the same thing. Companion LED Utility Tent Light would be a good option or the Companion Tent Fan with LED Light for the warmer months of the year.
Which tent has more room this onenor the instant stand up 10 person1 answer
Hi Robbie, with both models just keep in mind that the recommended amount of people is more of a guide. While a tent may be able to fit 10 people, it’s likely to be more comfortable with a few less than that. The layout of the Chalet 9 will probably feel more spacious and livable inside as it has three areas that can be sectioned off, whereas there is only one divider inside the Instant Up 10. Keep in mind that the setup of these tents are vastly different - so while space and comfort is important, the Instant Up tent will be a quick set up while the Chalet 9 will take you a longer amount of time.
Is this a instant pop up tent 1 answer
G’day Robbie, the Coleman Chalet 9 CV Family Dome Tent is not an instant pop up tent, it’s got a fairly traditional frame so you will need to spend more time on pitching this tent in comparison to the Instant Up range. But the Chalet 9 will perform slightly better in windy conditions so it’s a trade-off between speed of set up and performance in windier weather.
Does the inner-tent have 'solid' (eg vinyl, windproof) covers for all meshed areas?1 answer
So that all windows, and ventilation areas can be sealed in windy weather. Also, the picture suggests the inner doors are solid at the bottom and mesh at the top, is this correct, or is privacy between rooms possible?
Hi Susie, the tent has waterproof polyester flaps that go over the mesh windows. The skylights can also be zipped up to prevent wind and rain coming in. Privacy is indeed possible as the mesh panel at the top of the doors can be zipped up.
How many pockets does it have inside?1 answer
Shading and light1 answer
I have small children who nap and are sensitive to light (wake up as soon as they see sunlight). I'm wondering how dark the tent is or if there is an accessorie I can purchase that we can drape etc to make the children's room darker?
How long does it take to set this tent up?1 answer
Is it a great deal harder than the easy up range? I'm wanting best value for money and not to complicated for set up
Replacement parts1 answer
Hello! Just wondering about buying this tent. We are in Melbourne. In the hopefully unlikely event that something breaks how do we go with replacement parts or warranty issues? Also - just wondering how easy it is to get the tent back into the bag?
