Having People over

car10001 on 21/08/2022 - 21:53

hi everyone

am wondering if there is a way to be able to host people and functions and have people over without a place of your own besides hiring cabins that has a kitchen that doesnt cost a fortune and feels like your own place.

reason for wondering is because every time or nearly every time someone in your family that lives close to you doesnt really want to do anything for their birthdays and some of the time going to their place is as close as you're going to get to having a function unless you have a place of your own which isnt really a option at moment or booking a cabin.

a friend and the fathers birthdays are both on 22 august and the father doesnt want to do anything and the friend is having a few people over and finding out is making you think about how much youd like to have somewhere to have people over.

and youre just trying to do the best you can with the things you have at moment.

got family in murray bridge who always or nearly always does something for one of their birthdays plus all cousins have partners as well and am wondering if thats what you get when you all have partners plus one of the family regularly has friends over.

the murray bridge family used to live in the copper coast but moved in 2004 to mount barker then 2012 moved to murray bridge.

what is good options to have somewhere other than cabins that feels like your own house while you still live where you are which you are mostly ok doing at moment.

when going adelaide am usually going by the north south connector and wondered because selecta homes is at burton wether it might be worth going the old way in oneday because am going to go in oneday and have a look for interest reasons and check out the smaller houses and see what theyre like.

it will be a long time before buying if at all but always worth a look and doesnt cost anything they say and because it might get to a stage where am going to have to do what parents did in the early 90s with their transportable and start with smallest youll get away with and a few years after extend it and of course allowing for future needs and space when buying block so when you get to that stage you dont have to sell up and move you can just add to it.

      Question:

      Greetings and saluations to one and all.

      I am posting this enquiry to enquire to the collective assembly of Ozbargainers if they perchance in their experience knew of a social scheme to be able to host a soiree without bringing into one’s place of residence a congregation of people. I seek an avenue of thought where in which this place, this abode, is furnished with a kitchen. I have discarded the thought of hiring a cabin due to the immediate fact the momentary cost associated with the venue hire is outside my budgetary constraints. I am also of the belief that such a venue will not bring forth the ambience and atmosphere that is reminiscent of my own habitation.

      Response:

      dung gon didly darnit i a bees fixing to pull up me britches but mees feels eyes too big for mies brithces so I tied an onion to my belt.

    I'm not entirely sure I understood what I read, but the answer seems to be airbnb or a local club (although it won't feel like home). Family Christmas get together (30+ people) we rent out a bowls club with a kitchen/club room, smaller family things we tend to get an airbnb with the biggest living area possible

    • [Deactivated] on 23/08/2022 - 11:05

      I could not find a single venue in SA which let me BYO alcohol.

      I rang 50+ places.

      Literally they all want your money these days.

      I've found people rent Airbnbs for small functions, 15-20 people a d seem to manage that way.

      • Ughhh on 23/08/2022 - 11:19

        There are places. Look for function centres/hall hire rather than pubs/ (dance) clubs of that sort.

      • freefall101 on 23/08/2022 - 15:23

        https://issca.org.au/hall-hire/ That took me about 5 minutes to find.

        Look for halls, community centres, sports clubs. Don't call anywhere that sells alcohol because they'll never let you book their venue if they can't sell you drinks.

          Not sure about that. In previous posts, the OP states that he needs a shed, his own shed.
          Maybe he lives on a farm with others.

    Ok I read 80% of it and I think I know….

    OP doesn't want to host a function at their own place and needs a home-like place to host but OP doesn't want a function room or similar.

    OP, your best bet is to hire an AirBNB house. You get a kitchen and it feels like home.
