Copperstone Event Production & Creative Agency

15/02/2023

Five years ago we wanted to establish a guest house where guests could feel at home. A space featuring the intimacy of a family home with all the luxuries a traveller would need, combined with great service and good food.

After our first year in operation, we already received our first award, and every year since then our guests voted and we received a traveller review award.

So, it is bittersweet that this year’s traveller award comes at a time where we decided to close Copperstone House. New ventures and ADventures await.

But in-between all the blood, sweat and tears, it was a blast! It was part of the Copperstone brand and a time in my life which I will always remember and cherish. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank every single guest who came through our doors, who we had the pleasure to meet and kuier with, who shared their stories and who became part of the family.

From all of us, THANK YOU. We can’t fully express our deep gratitude for your business and your support.

They say everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing it. Thank you all for The Climb.

The health and safety of our guests and our employees is our highest priority health and safety of our guests and staff remain a priority during this period.

We have implemented the following additional control measures:

- Upon arrival at the property, all guests will be required to show us proof of vaccination.
- Vaccines are our way out of the pandemic, and our way back to a life where we can be together safely. If you are not vaccinated, you will unfortunately not be allowed to enter.
- New operating standards and protocols, which seek to protect workers, restore travelers’ confidence, ensure social distancing, and put in place the necessary cleaning and hygiene standards.
- Increased cleaning of public areas and surfaces frequently touched by guests and staff.
- Regular disinfection of door handles, credit card terminals, pens and front desk surfaces, bars, and commonly used amenities.
- As an additional precaution, we will only allow stays of a minimum of 2 nights nights for the time being.
- In an effort to mitigate the risk for our guests and staff, to ensure minimum contact, all rooms will be cleaned every 3 days, or on request by long-stay guests.
- No meals will be served for the time being. We will however provide our guests with our normal continental breakfast offering, safely pre-packed daily in the fridge. For lunch and dinner, we recommend guests make use of Uber Eats or Mr D to order meals delivered to the property.
- We will be implementing touchless payment solutions, where practical an EFT can be done after booking stage as well as electronic check-in’s prior to arrival, to limit the opportunity for virus transmission while also enabling a seamless travel experience.
- Educating staff on what the virus is; ways in which the virus is transmitted; symptoms to look out for; and daily measures to prevent contamination and spread of viruses in personal, operational and guest spaces. Education of staff is ongoing.
- Hand sanitisers are placed in easy reach of guests in public areas of the property, as well as in all rooms.
- Personal hygiene is being emphasised, including the importance of washing hands frequently and thoroughly; avoiding touching eyes, nose and mouth; practicing respiratory hygiene (sneezing and coughing into a tissue that is safely discarded or the crook of the elbow), and avoiding touching one’s face.
- Protective wear such as protective gloves, face shields and face masks are issued to all staff.
- Alcoholic beverages will be for sale again at our upstairs bar. The poolside bar will still remain closed for now.
- Avoiding close contact with anyone who is coughing, sneezing and feverish.
- To minimize the spread of COVID-19 and to protect other guests as well as our employees, we reserve the right to send guests home if they show clear signs of COVID-19.

The past few months has been complete devastation across the events and hospitality industry. Social distancing and stay at home mandates have shut down events across the country and around the world as people strive to limit contact with others and slow the pandemic. The events industry, which exists to bring people together, has been hit particularly hard.

In recent weeks we have spent a lot of time discussing how we might still move forward with some of our annual events this year, particularly given that this October, COPPERSTONE will be celebrating its 15th year of creating memories in the event sector.

However, with all of the logistical challenges and uncertainties we currently face due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s biggest annual events, including our annual red-carpet GALA Event at the end of the year, our charity outreach projects, and our flagship annual competition, Talent Search SA.

It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the cancellation of this year’s TALENT SEARCH South Africa competition. This is not a decision we have taken lightly, and we want to thank all our valued sponsors and our judging panel for your willingness to support our projects, as well as everyone who entered for this year’s competition. We will begin processing full refunds to all entrants immediately. If you registered online, your refund will be processed within 24-72 hours. Your refund will be processed to your original form of payment, and you will receive a confirmation email and refund receipt.

So what can our regular guests expect for the rest of the year? People are conscious and aware of large crowds now – and will subconsciously make efforts to avoid them, even after the pandemic has passed. We are already working on smaller intimate events at Copperstone House when Lockdown permits, as well as an online initiative which we will launch as part of our 15-year Celebrations later this year.

At Copperstone House our doors are effectively closed. We made a decision to offer time-limited (room only) accommodation for emergency and contract workers at the moment. We will hopefully be able to accommodate all our regular guests again later this year.

It was a painful decision to cancel some of our big events and our Talent Search SA competition this year, but the health and safety of our guests, partners, judging panel, contestants, volunteers, and staff are our top priority, and with the unfolding situation related to COVID-19, we felt this was the decision that had to be made.
