Size, in the maker's numbers
A castle that fills a photo may be a little over a metre across. Width, depth and height on every page are the maker's own figures, so you can measure the corner before you order.
A fabric castle a child can sit inside, with a book.
Princess Tent Company sells princess castle tents, playhouse tents, teepees and tunnel sets for New Zealand families. Every size and material on the site is the maker's own figure. Where a listing states nothing, the page says so rather than guessing.

The right tent for the room
A play tent is a simple thing and it is easy to oversell. We list the facts that matter, so you know what you are buying before it arrives.
Material, as the maker states it
Polyester, cotton, canvas, poles of plastic or wood. The page quotes what the maker publishes. Where the maker says nothing, we say so rather than guess.
Pop-up or poles
Some tents spring open the moment they leave the bag. Others push together on a pole frame in a few minutes. Each page says which, and whether the maker lists a carry bag.
Lights and mats, listed where included
Where a tent comes with star lights, bunting or a padded mat, the page says so. Where it does not, the page says that too, so nothing is missing on a birthday morning.
Indoors or out, as the maker says
Most of the range is made for a bedroom, playroom or living room. Where the maker says a tent can go out in the garden on a dry day, the page says so. Where it does not, keep it inside.
Easy to return
Not what you expected? Send it back within 14 days in resaleable condition for a full refund, on top of your Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 rights.

Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Start with the room. Measure the corner you have in mind and compare it with the maker's width and depth on the page. Then think about how the tent will be used: a castle or playhouse for sitting and reading, a teepee for a quieter corner, a tunnel set for crawling and games. If you are unsure, email us before you order.
Where the maker gives an age, the product page shows it, and most of the range is listed for ages 3 and up. It is the maker's guidance, so read it with what you know about your own child. Where the maker gives no age, we do not guess one.
Where a tent comes with star lights, the product page quotes what the maker says about power and whether batteries are included. Where the maker lists nothing, the page says so rather than guessing. An adult should fit and change batteries, following the maker's instructions.
Most orders arrive within 5 to 10 working days of the order date, a little longer for regional and remote addresses. Working days leave out weekends and public holidays. For a date that cannot move, order at least three weeks ahead. We cannot promise delivery on a set day.
Every size on the site is the maker's own figure: width, depth and height. Photos can mislead, so check the numbers before you buy and allow room for the doors to open. Where a listing states no size, the page says so rather than guessing.
Most tents in the range are made for a bedroom, playroom or living room. Some can go out in the garden on a dry day, and the page says so where the maker states it. A tent the maker does not describe as weatherproof should stay inside.
Yes. We deliver to every region, including rural addresses. Delivery is free on orders of $69 or more and a flat $20 under that. Remote areas can take a few days longer.
Send it back within 14 days of delivery, in resaleable condition with its packaging and accessories, and we refund the price you paid including standard delivery. That is on top of your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 if anything arrives faulty.
Buying guide
How to Choose a Play Tent for a Child: A Practical Guide
A good play tent is one that gets used. That depends less on the photo and more on a few plain facts: how big it is, what it is made of, how it goes up and where it will live. This guide walks through those facts and the kinds of tent we sell.
Start with the room
Pick the spot before the tent. A bedroom corner, a playroom wall, the living room floor. Measure the width and depth you can give up, and the height under any shelf or bunk. Then compare those numbers with the maker's figures on the product page. Allow room for the doors to open and for a child to crawl in and out.
Read the age the maker gives
Where a product page shows an age, it is the maker's guidance. Not every maker gives one, and where they do not, we do not guess. Most of the range is listed for ages 3 and up. Read it with what you know about the child who will use it.
Castle tents
A castle tent is the classic. A fabric castle with a door, a window or two, and enough floor for a child to sit inside with a book. Some are hexagonal and sit on a pole frame. Pop-up castles spring open from a flat bag. The page says which type it is, the width across the floor and the height at the peak.
Playhouse tents, lights and mats
A playhouse tent is shaped like a small house or shop, and some come as an ice cream stand, a cabin or a rocket. Many include a padded mat, star lights or bunting. The page says what the maker includes, so you know whether the mat or the lights come with it or need to be bought separately.
Teepees
A teepee is a tall tent on four or five poles, usually in canvas or cotton. It takes less floor than a castle but needs more height. Check the maker's height figure against the room, and note whether the poles are wood or plastic.
Tunnel and ball pit sets
A tunnel set clips a tent, a tunnel and sometimes a ball pit together. Each piece can usually be used on its own. The page says how many pieces there are, how long the tunnel is and whether balls are included. Most sets do not include balls, so check before the birthday.
Setup and putting away
Pop-up tents go up in seconds and fold back into a flat carry bag, which takes a little practice. Pole-frame tents push together by hand, usually in a few minutes and without tools. The page says which type the tent is and whether the maker lists a carry bag. Think about where the tent will be stored when it is not in use.
Washing and care
Follow the maker's care note on the product page. Where the maker publishes nothing about washing, the page says so. A mat that comes with a tent may be washable on its own, and the page says so where the maker states it.
Buying a gift on time
Most orders arrive within 5 to 10 working days of the order date, and regional addresses can take longer. Working days leave out weekends and public holidays. For a birthday or Christmas, order at least three weeks ahead. Delivery is free on orders of $69 or more and a flat $20 under that.
Play at home
Read the maker's instructions before the first play. Throw away plastic bags and ties once the tent is unpacked. Check the poles and connectors now and then, and supervise play where the maker recommends it. This guide is general information, not advice about your child.
Your play tent checklist
Measure the spot. Read the maker's width, depth and height. Check the material. Note whether it is pop-up or pole frame. See whether the lights or the mat are included. Think about where it will be stored. Then check the delivery window against the date you need it.
The short version
Buy for the room and the child, read the maker's figures on the page, and leave enough time for delivery. Every product page here quotes the maker's own size and material, and says so where the maker states nothing, so you can decide before you order. You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind.
