Advise on a trip

Hi my buddies and I (5 guys between 18-20) are looking for good places to get drunk, stay for the night and eat out. We are running on a R4000 budget , any ideas?

Book an Airbnb, party at Beachbums and grab a lift back using Uber.

Oh no it's not nice to hear. It was a fun place with good food and eventually good vibes and music. And the location on the beach was superb for a night time beach party. Oh my youth is shattered haha..

Doesn't an Airbnb require u to stay with the host? I'll check out beachbums

If you book accommodation in a flat or house or room, you don't have to have the hosts around. If you book into a BnB its likely that the hosts will also stay in the same house. Just go onto booking.com and see where you guys can book a place.

P.s..i have a BnB in Umhlanga but I won't allow for a party after-party and or drunkenness.

P.s.s. you guys need to visit some revue bar... Youngsters like you guys need to explore haha

Depending where you guys come from, it would be fun to get a few buds together, head down to the beach, party hard, make a bonfire, chill and smoke and just see the sun come up!

Ps. Youd have to find a hidden spot to make a nice bonfire without being asked to kill it by security or rangers. Theres plenty of driftwood on the beach. Even though it's frowned upon and not allowed, why not bring a pop up tent for the evening and crash there when you guys fall?!

AirBnB is your best bet to find a place close by in Umhlanga. Nights usually start off at Steak & Ale or The George and then head to Sunsets and Mermaids after that. All about 50m away from each other in Umhlanga Village

Rent 8 Gus brown road in Amanzimtoti and head on over to lords and legends. That’s plenty lol
