It’s no secret that outside of my regular nine-to-five job I’m a big fan of the great outdoors.
If I’m not scaling a large hill for on a 10km walk, I’m at the beach lounging around the shallows or I’m exploring a new region of Australia’s coastline.
And while I understand booking a hotel or Airbnb when you travel is easier there is something about staying in a campsite, in a simple but cosy tent, that just makes my heart soar.

I’ve raved about my favourite Colman Instant Up tent in the past, and while it’s incredibly easy to assemble we want to upgrade our kit for the next trip and take things up a notch.
That’s where the SAN HIMA Rooftop Tent Hard Shell, which currently retails for $2099.95, comes in.
The Kalbarri Lite tent is both sleek and sophisticated with an impressive blend of being lightweight, made with durable materials and thoughtful features.
Weighing in at a mere 58.5 kg, the Kalbarri Lite is significantly lighter than its predecessor — and plenty of other rooftop tents — making transportation and setup a breeze.
This weight reduction allows you to explore more remote and challenging destinations without sacrificing comfort which is right up my alley.
Equipped with “AquaShield” technology, the tent provides exceptional resistance to UV rays, water, and corrosion. The durable fabric and elevated base ensure a comfortable and dry sleep, no matter the weather conditions.
The tent’s silver-lined interior offers a private and cozy retreat.
It’s also packed with features to enhance your camping experience, including convenient storage pockets to a tri-colour LED strip light.
With its gas strut system and ergonomic strap you can have your tent ready to go in just 30 seconds.
I am seriously considering pulling the trigger on this one, particularly after reading some of the positive reviews.
“Best rooftop tent ever! The design is brilliant with lots of headroom and great ventilation. Easy to set up and very comfortable. Worth every penny. We’ve taken it on several trips already and it holds up well in all weather conditions,” one customer wrote.
“Perfect for our weekend getaways! This tent is so easy to set up and take down. It’s lightweight but doesn’t compromise on quality. We stayed dry and cozy even during a rainstorm. Enough space for two people to sleep comfortably. Love it!” Said another.
A third added: “Love this tent! It’s spacious, well-ventilated and easy to set up. Perfect for weekend getaways. Highly recommend to anyone who loves camping. And it is under my budget as well”.
