Welcome to Gay Durban, our guesthouse and Durban event blog.. a place for gay dudes in Durban to publish events, happenings and more about life here, from 2010 to 2020, particularly for visitors to our part of gay South Africa on the sunny beach east coast.
Welcome Ejay from Omaha in the States here on conference in South Africa and staying at the Guesthouse. In the photo are guesthouse co-owner Llewellyn (left) and Ejay (right). Ejay has also been highly educational, being a "Tranny boi" - or transgender guy who was previously a woman. Check out the site he referred us to.. it's fascinating : http://www.ryansallans.com a reference point for discussion on the topic.
It is always great to see "old" friends - one of our guests from the opening days of the Guesthouse, Ludwig from Pretoria returns to visit, joined by our "frequent flyer" or "old faithful" Rick the energiser bunny..lol.. who is always full of fun and chatter. Thanks for your happy returns guys!!
Hey guys, we've created a fun event on our Gay Durban Facebook group - a day trip up to the midlands of KwaZulu-Natal for winetasting and lunch. Click on the link here to the group and let us know if you are attending. We will start off at the Guesthouse in the morning and take a drive up to Howick Falls, going on to the Nottingham Road area to Kzn Stables Wine Farm for winetasting and then for lunch afterwards. Come join the gay boyz!!
The fun and sun was in Durban this weekend as Guests arrived for the International Boat Show at Durban Harbour and the annual Air Show at Virginia Airport takes to the skies. We are off to sit on the beach and watch the awesome display overhead whist basking in the winter sun. Seen in the photo having breakfast at the guesthouse are Eugene, Bruce, Leon and Andre, all from Johannesburg, whilst guests Paul and Beyers are still in bed on this mid-morning sunny day..lol. Hope you're having a great time in Durbs guys and that we see you all here again soon for more of the Durban action.
A glorious sunny day greeted Durban as we woke up to the morning of the Vodacom July Handicap - our premier horseracing event of the year. Having a drink on our rooftop sundeck overlooking the city and race track are (top photo from left to right) Michael from Johannesburg, Llewellyn guesthouse co-owner, Dave guesthouse co-owner, and Alewyn from Cape Town. In the second photo, dressed to kill and in line for top honours in the fashion stakes are our guests Gareth, Monique, Derick and Dillon all from Johannesburg. In the third photo are Elrich and Antoine also from Johannesburg. Lastly, ready for the races, are Llewellyn and myself (Dave).
The heat is on in Durban the next two weeks as our main outdoor events of the year take advantage of Durban's sizzling winter sun. This Saturday it's the Vodacom Durban July - South Africa's Premier horseracing event and fashion extravaganza. Of course we will be there along with our Guests coming for the dress-up and fashion - also South Africa's top fashion event of the year. The traditional 13th Race (YouTube video clip) is one in which the guys bare all down to their jocks and take a sprint down the main straight to the finish while the fashion fundis look on agog. And the after-parties are legendary. Durban's gay club The Lounge is hosting a 330 after-party which will see Durban rock till sunrise.And for those wanting a little less dress-up, and some more hot bodies, the boyz will be out on the beach for the Beach Festival and Mr Price Pro international surfing event that has made Durban famous over it's 30+ year history. So Durban's where the action is this July.
