Hi, I'm currently shopping for a 3 room tent (2 bedrooms either side of a central 'living' room). I'm wondering if anyone has any
feedback on the Coleman Chalet9, the Diamantina/Drysdale or the Spinifex or Oztrail ones?? I'm looking to spend no more than $500 as we'll mostly be using it with a tarp over top for extra cooking/ eating space, so figure spending anymore may be overkill. Really looking for something pretty quick to set up/dismantle (have a 2 & 4 yr old!) and pretty good quality zips, poles etc. Any other brand suggestions also most welcome! Many thanks..

I have the Chalet 9 and like it a lot. It works
well for a family of four, with the end rooms being used for bedrooms.
I can put it up myself, although it is easier with two, one on either side. Zips and poles are good. The awnings that extend from the doors are faily useless and using a tarp to expand that area is good. The tent is waterproof and has lots of nice features such as a sunroof, internal cable guides and few pickets for storage of keys, torches etc. I think you may need to buy an extra section for the awning poles to give you a little extra height if you plan to work underneath a tarp from that area.
We're happy with the quality, function and setup etc. I think they go for $350 or so.
