September Date Nights in Durban

Hello Durban!!! As you know, September is the first month of spring which always brings with it a feeling of excitement and new beginnings, so what better time than now to bring Date Nights to Durban.  There are loads of interesting things happening in Durban this month so I’m hoping your date nights for this month will be all sorted! Have fun! 

Make a video of the two of you telling your story of how you met. Don’t rehearse it, the more spontaneous it is, the better. Your kids and you will enjoy watching it many years from now. (For more date night ideas at home, head on over here)

Curry Buffet and Lager at the Ocean Terrace Restaurant
People come from from far and near to sample the world famous curries Durban has to offer. At the Ocean Terrace, you can choose from at least 11 curries (fish, meat and vegetarian options are available) every single day. If you and your partner are passionate about curry, it might be a nice idea to schedule date night at this Mediterranean-inspired restaurant where you can try its signature curries as you marvel views of the Indian Ocean.

Sushi, Thai and Japanese cuisine at Green Mango
