Mmm, do
shop around, but don't expect online to be cheaper than bricks and mortart stores all the time.
I recently bought an Outdoor Connection Escape 6 dome.
Large enough for me and the missus, plus teen daughter when she joins us, and all our gear inside easily.

This was $250 + ship form Kellys link above, got it from local Christies Camping in
Adelaide for $219, nothing special just emailed them and asked what their price was.
Sure, you need to guy out dome tents
well if windy weather is likely, but most times it's fine with basic setup.
Sarah, I would look at the Outdoor Connection Escape 4, a 4 person dome that gives plenty of room for double camping matress and sleeping bag, plus bags and personal gear down the sides.
This tent also has very good ventilation with the usual array of zip down windows, but also some unique low windows for side flow on those warmer nights.
A very
well made tent, not too heavy / bulky when packed, with
well covered entry and you can pole out the door as an awning too.

I use shadecloth under it and it keeps dirt etc out of the tent, doesn't pooli fit's raining, and is easy to shake off, fold up, and pack away.
