Good old fashioned family business – I initially purchased the Air pole Queen with deluxe mattress. It arrived within a week to a regional area. When pumping air into the frame I used the pump from Kulkyne, have no fear in over pumping. Put as much air into it as you can, once you've got the knack it is very quick. I haven't used the swag yet in a bush setting but the mattress looks… Read more

like it will be very comfy! The Queen size once I saw it, will be too big for me but will be perfect for two people, I'm gifting it to my brother for his 40th b'day next month. I ordered the Air pole Big boy swag for me. Again, the post arrived within a week and the size is perfect for one person. For both swags I ordered the 4 seasons sleeping bag. I like that it is sized perfectly to the swag and you have the option of adjusting the warmth as you need. Both swags have good ventilation and are well made. I contacted Mandy and Brett via phone as I was concerned I was going to over pump the air frame. Both were helpful and couldn't help me enough...all I needed was reassurance that I wasn't going to blow it up and wreck it on the first use. They both reiterated to contact them if I have any other concerns in the future. Overall, I'm happy with my purchases, I like that it is a family business that were very helpful when I rang them....I even scored a free polo shirt, hat and sticker. Thank you Mandy and Brett, I love the swags and look forward to Easter to use them. NOTE: As with any online transaction read the terms and conditions particularly relating to returns and post fees, the info is on the Kulkyne website. There was a glitch in the credit card payment option (likely that my internet connection dropped out), so I selected the PayPal option. Unfortunately the transaction went through twice. Once I was aware of it, I contacted Mandy online and was refunded the second transaction immediately. Very easy to rectify.

Great Swags, Crap customer service – I ordered some replacement Centre swag poles for three of my Kulkyne swags as they are starting to become worn out after a lot of use. Mandy was difficult to communicate with when ordering the poles and once I received the poles they didn't fit my swags. I have two singles and one king single. Unfortunately I trusted that they would fit when I… Read more

received them and didn't check before going camping. The singles poles are 60mm too short and the king single pole is 40mm too short. This causes the swag to sag and allow water ingress when it rains. Needless to say I was uncomfortable when our swags filled with water after raining two of the four nights we were in the outback. After a ridiculously long and difficult conversation with Mandy once home and dry, including several photos and measurements, I was told to return the items at MY EXPENSE! This I had objection to as we had already endured enough thanks to the poles that didn't fit the swags that I had specified. If Mandy had simply said without a 40minuite conversation about design changes made to the swags before she'd started to work at Kulkyne, and to send them back COD, and that she'd send me some that fit or reimburse me, I would have been perfectly happy, but she didn't.

So buyers beware, the designs of these swags may have changed in the last 10 years, and if ordering spare parts send through a lot of dimensions as there is no sympathy, only arguments if they don't fit.

Kulkyne homestead double swag – Just sold my rooftop tent had enough of it. Four wheel driving and camping is what I love the most but I’ve never been totally sold on roof toppers so I went looking for a better alternative for me and my darling, who’s just started into four wheel driving with me which opened another can of worms in regards to quick camping set up, you blokes… Read more

know what I mean. Came across the double homestead and thought it was a great idea being 55 I’m done with sleeping on the ground.

Wasn’t sure about this one because I wasn’t able to see it in the flesh and I had reserves about the set up, but I took a punt on it and ordered one sight unseen. It arrived to Sydney 4 days after from Mildura. Came in two boxes. Instructions nah I don’t need them I’m a bloke and well I’ve got YouTube job done!

Stuffed it up for the first time with the push rods, second go took 12 min from out of the bag to lying in it, I was ok with that so it was time to give it a test run which I did three night later and I gotta tell ya it was the best sleep I’ve had in the bush, my wife loved and that was the biggest surprise of all. I’m totally sold on this and I’m looking for to six nights down the vic high country in three weeks. Do yourself a favour these are the ducks nuts. Seano

Kulkyne Kampers great service and great products – Part of my order was unavailable and there was a small delay, Kulkyne’s communications were very professional that emailed and called me on my mobile to let me know how long the delay was and to offer me the option of waiting for the items to come in and send everything in one package or receiving the items they had now and sending the outstanding… Read more

items as soon as they came in. I took the second option with no extra costs for two deliveries. The first package came with good tracking and the correct items, Mandy called and emailed to let me know the second package was on it’s way ( in the time frame I was originally told) all items were as described and very well made and packaged. It has been a pleasure to do business with a company that provides a great level of service and goes the extra mile to do what they say they will do.

Great Swag so far – Bought the King Single - Army Green swag. So far good product. Easy to set up. Good quality zips. Good features. Couple of little points I think would make it better. The retention straps that you use once the swag rolls up are heavy duty but have plastic buckles, I see that breaking quickly. They should have metal D rings and would have preferred… Read more

they were sewn in to the swag as they can easily be lost. The attachments used to attach the swag to the spreader pole are good but for some reason the middle one is Velcro don’t know why but Velcro shouldn’t be used here. Other than that I love the swag. At its current discounted price it’s good value. Once I’ve used it out in weather I’ll write another review but so far so good.

Great quality, smart design, family owned – I'd rather spend a little more and support a local business that is taking the initiative to develop interesting new products. The quality of the materials and craftsmanship is excellent. The Mega Swag is a game changer, I actually look forward to going to bed now! Show reply

Complete package with NO risks involved – First class customer service, offering s high quality product. Delivered by an extremely professional courier organised by Kulkyne, to me here in the Northern Rivers area NSW, isolated and surrounded by national parks. Arrived early, in tact, and the product was even better looking re quality, in the flesh. Would not hesitate to buy again from Kulkyne Kampers, or recommend them to other potential buyers. Show reply

Top quality – If you’re looking for small and light these swags aren’t for you. If you are looking for excellent quality, comfort and protection from the elements, you definitely want a Kulkyne Swag and Stretcher. We have the double stretcher with the queen swag and find it easy to set up and pack down and the most comfortable night’s sleep ever. Can’t recommend these guys highly enough. And the service is second to none.

Swag good, very expensive – Swags are good. Bags are average. Prices are high. The price increases and lack of free shipping are an issue, I’ve started buying the Sahara drover swags and the canvas is 15oz plus they come with a canvas bag for the queen swag . The Sahara swags are out of the same production line, and come with free shipping. I own 5 kulkynes and the Sahara is great.

Coming price rises – It was interesting to see the notice from Kulkyne Kampers that they were about to dramatically increase the prices of their products in the face of the dramatic fall in the value of the AUD. I take it that this means that, when the AUD radically increases in value from today's level, we will also see an equally dramatic fall in the prices of their products. (I don't think)

Kulkyne Big Boy Swag – Awesome swag. It's MY swag, as I am indeed a Big Boy. I got tired of lugging a tent and mattress with me any time I went bush to go fishing. In 2013 after some advice from mates I bought myself this beauty. It's tough. It's seen water fall from the sky and kept me dry, as well as having been crawled over by goannas. If I had to buy… Read more

another one I would in a heartbeat. It's really big enough for two - I have weekended in it with both my 6'2" teenager, as well as my wife. Above all, it's COMFORTABLE, and in summer leaving the rain flaps open give you the best view you could ever hope to find.

Exceptional product and service – When I ordered the pink swag for my daughter it was on backorder - within the day they had contacted and advised or timeframes and offered a refund if I couldn’t wait - they kept me updated through the process when they arrived in Australia and delivery dates - definitely recommend and will be using again, product itself is the best quality I’ve seen keep up the great work

Great Swag! – I purchased a Kulkyne swag for my partner who had been thinking about upgrading his old swag for a few years. I left it to the last minute to order before Father’s Day but it arrived in time for the kids to give it to him. It was set up the next day outside so it could be seasoned and then used a few weeks later. My partner was really impressed… Read more

with the quality and having more room in it than his old swag made it more comfortable for sleeping. He may just convince me to leave the camper trailer home and get a swag myself :)

The best gear and a great price too! – I purchased a swag recently and the product and service was second to none! The details on line were exactly what arrived in a very timely manner. I want good gear and was very pleased with the value for money. This was not the first time I shopped here and it will not be the last. Keep up the good work, happy camping.

4 Seasons in one Holiday – 4 Seasons Sleeping bags are just that. Started our holiday in the freezing cold southern nights and stayed toasty warm, ended up in the north with 25degree nights and all we had to do was keep taking the layers off the bags as we got hotter. Awesome bags would recommend to anyone. They arrived very quickly and Mandy answered all my questions before the purchase. Thanks Kulkyne!!

Top quality, top value – I’ve had the Big Boy Kulkyne Swag for about 5 years now, always been really happy with it. I only recently bought the 4 seasons sleeping bag to match the Big Boy swag. Absolutely spot on, so comfortable, well made and it don’t feel like your sleeping in a sleeping bag (which I hate). No getting tangled up or feeling like your trapped, and very… Read more

warm. Can’t wait to try it in the summer! Can’t go wrong the Swag bag also, clever design that lays out dead flat on the ground, chuck your swag on top and zip around it. Ample room to put the swag away with bedding and a pillow still inside, not very often they fit back in to their bags that comfortably. Waterproof, keeps your swag clean while your off road in the dirt dust and mud. Love it

Winning Swag Service – My son won a Kulkyne Traditional Swag at a fishing competition. I was not sure if it need to be wetted in, so I asked the question and got an answer back from Kulkyne straight away, even though I had not even paid for it. My son loves sleeping in the swag and even I have had few nights sleep in it and its great!

Great quality. Excellent service – These guys made it easy for me to choose the right swag. Their advice and service was spot on. I got a big boy swag and four seasons sleeping bag. The swag itself is very well made. All the materials really feel like they are great quality and will last. Zips are strong and smooth. Stitching is strong too. Easy to put up and pack away. I got… Read more

the deluxe mattress and it is very comfortable. The sleeping bag is the best I have ever owned. Super high quality and I love that is can be used year round. Very happy with my purchases. I’m keen to use them any chance I get.

Great Swag, service & Delivery – I originally ordered the single sway for my son birthday last weekend, however Mandy called to say they were out of stock and i was able to purchase the king single for just another $40. I received the swag in time for my son birthday on weekend and it is great quality swag. Mandy was fantastic to deal with on the phone and went above and beyond to have the swag to me by Friday. Thankyou!

Best swag available – I have had the big boy swag with the 4 seasons sleeping bag for over 5 years now. Best swag I have owned the quality is great.

Best nights sleep – Purchased a homestead swag for our son for Christmas, he absolutely loves it, won’t even sleep in our van anymore. I borrowed it fo a camping trip with mates and it was the best nights sleep in a swag I have ever had, and the four season sleeping bag was excellent, I have since purchased another for myself, buying process was easy with both… Read more

Quality product second to none – I purchased a Big Boy Swag from Kulkyne Kampers and what can I say except for what an exceptional product. Firstly the swag can be set up in just minutes and doesn’t require me having to pin it down as it’s completely free standing. Secondly the canvas is very high quality and completely waterproof. In fact I’ve used it when it’s been raining and… Read more

I’ve remained completely dry. Someone has spent a lot of time designing this swag and has thought of everything. The swag has a pocket to hold my LED light( that I also bought from them). It has a pocket to keep my boots dry when it’s raining so I don’t have to put them inside my swag with me. I have no trouble recommending this product or their sales team to anyone at all. Mandy was very helpful and prompt to return my emails and phone calls. She knew her products very well and never pushed me into buying what she though was best. In fact I love their service and products so much that I have just purchased a second swag for my wife.

Kulkyne solar panel 165 watts – I'm a Tour Operator operating from Cape York and Western Australia taking small groups of people Extreme Fishing and Eco Tours in remote places. I only cater for up to 5 people, I require 2 fridge freezers to operate 24/7 Fresh food is essential for my tours I had previously purchased a Generator from Kulkyne which is excellent But as a green… Read more

as possible tour business a very good solar panel system was essential

So i purchased the 165 Watt fold away portable system from Kulkyne

This summer the first time to use, and I have used it 12 hours a day 7 days a week

It dose a marvelous job on keeping my 2 deep cycle 12 volt batteries charged and to the point that the batteries maintain the fridge freezers at night

1 fridge freezer I had made to order from EvaKool a 170 litre Freezer with a large Danfoss motor, the BD 50

I have had this freezer from Eva Kool and never had a problem until I needed to get it re- gassed this summer

The kulkyne 165 watt solar panel is just majic but i would have to say a better read out system rather than a led light would enhance this product

Just Fantastic

Good product, good price and good service – My dealings with Kulkyne have been very positive, I ordered my RV4 tent , sidewalls, deluxe front wall and mesh ground covering at a very competitive price, the tent and walls arrived but no floor, however after sending an email, got a reply from [name removed] who explained mesh flooring to follow just waiting for new shipment, consignments are… Read more

trackable with TNT and everything went without a hitch, If I did have anything to gripe about, it would just be that the delay of the floor could have been in written form and accompanied my first delivery. But to sum up I have a great quality tent, purchased at a very competitive price, arranged by helpful informative staff who's update emails have kept me abreast of where my purchases were upto. I would confidently reccommend dealing with Kulkyne Kampers and can only assume that Christmas 2013 was a busy time and that they had 3 customers who fell under the radar. Ah well nobody is perfect
