Durban Pride

Our guests Genevieve in drag at the Babylon and Bent Pride After-Party, seen here with guesthouse owners Llewellyn (left) and Dave (right), and in the following pics, Gareth Dallas from Manhunt and DJ Chris who all stayed with us for the few days of Pride ending last night with the after-Party at Boulevard in Florida Road.

Last few days of Durban Pride

It's the last few days of the Durban Gay and Lesbian Film Festival forming part of Pride this year and culminating in the Street Parade this Saturday. Here's the link to the Film Fest website and screening schedule, so there's still time to grab a ticket!

Our guesthouse welcomes Gareth from Manhunt who are sponsoring some of the Pride events and Godfrey from G's Men's Wear in Cape Town.. suppliers of South Africa's favourite men's underwear and garments.

Enjoy the spirit of Pride in Durban guys!

Gay Wedding at the guesthouse

Congratulations to Paul and Neil who got married at the Guesthouse yesterday. What a beautiful ceremony on the rooftop at the sun was setting over the city as they said their commitments to each other. Arriving in Durban from Newcastle in the UK on Wednesday it was a whirlwind few days and we were delighted to be part of the service. Paul and Neil have already been together for 14 years and felt that it was time to get married and come somewhere exciting for the ceremony and honeymoon.

 

 

Breakfast at the house

Breakfast anyone... Dave gets the breakfast spread out for our guests...

 

Comrades today

 

Good luck to cousins Gary and Matt (below) seen here in a pic at the Comrades Wall with their plaques halfway along the 87km route of the Comrades Marathon before the big day. The race started this morning at 5.30am and Llewellyn drove them down to the start. It's become a tradition for the two to come stay over at the guesthouse the night before the uprun, as we are just a few kilometres away from the start and unwind, enjoy a few beers and get their heads in order for the race. Both runners are going for a silver medal today which would be an incredible achievement only obtained by the top 450 or so runners out of a field of 17 000 - coming in in less than 7 1/2 hours to qualify.
