Not the first time we have used The Ancient Copper Shed. Excellent value for money.
The accommodation at The Ancient Copper Shed, Sumer as well as Egypt, is unforgettable in the truest sense of the word. It has been furnished with so much care, and of course also very spot on with all the items that have been 'repurposed'. The bedding is luxurious and spotless. The sounds of nature and removal of city noise, together with the close-enough-to-Potchefstroom location, make The Ancient Copper Shed the logical choice when we have to spend the night in this area. You should actually make time to spend a weekend here with friends and family, because there is a safe playground and convenient barbecue areas. Parking is under a canopy and the property is securely fenced.

The accommodation is well located, a nice and safe bushveld feeling and was well equipped.
Was impressed by the owner sending a WhatsApp before we left with all information about the stay and later sending the load shedding schedule. Unfortunately no wildlife seen, no walking meals as mentioned, paths near the house's grass were long and could not walk there. Had a problem with the shower, can't get the water set, then too cold or too hot, it doesn't stay stable. A shelf in the kitchen to pack groceries would be welcome. Wasn't happy when unexpected guests like brown cockroaches made their appearance in the kitchen every now and then.

The Ancient Copper Shed 's response
Dankie vir die terugvoer, Johanna. Ongelukkig was die kommunikasie andersins nie voldoende nie. Wat die staproete aanbetref: Daar is 'n staproete in die wildskamp, en as jul net gevra het sou ek vir julle die sleutel van die hek gegee het soos ek aan die ander gaste gedoen het. Wat die sesvoetige diertjies aanbetref: ek is bewus daarvan, en pas 'n selektiewe spuitprogram toe, en as jul net mooi gekyk het sou julle die 'bait' daarvoor gesien het. Soos in die inligtingstuk vermeld, is die huisie omring met natuurlike veld wat ek probeer bewaar op mikro vlak ook, en sal vier-, ses- en agtvoetige diertjies daar rondom altyd daar wees. Wat die warmwater aanbetref: die waterdruk werk met 'n drukpomp soos ek in die inligting vermeld het, en sal die druk soms afneem en toeneem soos die pomp outomaties funksioneer. Ek hoop andersins dat julle die kunswerk waaraan soveel tyd bestee is, geniet het.

Ancient Copper.
The name and house definitely fit together. Many antique and interesting copper items in cottage. Lovely fireplace! Gas geyser maybe a bit small for need of 4 people (especially in winter) and would maybe just prefer a door to bathroom instead of a curtain and maybe blinds/curtains in front of bathroom window at shower. Otherwise, nice stay!

Disappointed in Egypt's outdoor shower, braai area and surroundings.
The interior decoration of Egypt is unique and the cottage was clean, tidy and very well equipped. However, during loadshedding there is not a single drop of water in the taps for bathing or showering or flushing the toilet. We were informed a few hours before we arrived that we would have to cater for ourselves. The property does provide 10L of drinking water in a container. Because the toilet's bowl is so high, it is difficult to pour water into the toilet with a container to flush. The outdoor shower advertised in the garden stood out to us over other accommodation options, however this shower is surrounded by long fields of grass and weeds. The outdoor shower and braai area does not feel private, it is only a very short distance from the other cottage, Summer. The view on the porch is a field overgrown with tall weeds. Egypt's cottage is neat, but the braai area, outdoor shower and outdoor spaces could use attention. There are no photos on the ad of the outdoor shower or braai area.

The Ancient Copper Shed 's response
Dankie vir jou terugvoer, Rassie, maar die resensie is regtig buite konteks en oordrewe.
As jy mooi opgelet het - die buitestort is met Elderberry, suurlemoen, granaat, en blueberry strategies beplant juis sodat jy meer privaatheid kan hê, en daarby omring met 'n gevlegte afskorting. Op die paadjie na die stort is geurgras geplant, nie vuilgoed nie.
Die buite braaiarea is omring met bome en struike, asook 'n lae heining, sodat jy nogsteeds die wild in die wildskamp kan sien. Sumer (let op die spelling, want dit verwys na die antieke land Sumerië in Engels) is nagenoeg 40m daarvandaan, en daardie braaiarea kan jy nie eers daarvandaan sien nie. Dus daar is genoeg privaatheid, en niemand het al ooit daaroor gekla nie. Sumer huisie was nie eers beset nie, dus was julle alleen op die uitgebreide perseel.
Die huisies is in 'n klein omheinde wildskamp geleë, met diere wat daar vry rondbeweeg - dit wat jy as vuilgoed gesien het, is veldgras, en die mis verder van die huisie, van die diere se mis - heel natuurlik.
Soos in die inligtingstuk in die huisie genoem, kon ek, as so versoek, die kragopwekkker aangesit het vir bepaalde tydperke. Jy sou dus met gemak kon bad of stort soos wat jou behoefte was. Die krag het ook, soos die skedule aan jou voorsien is, om 18:30 (18:10) aangegaan. Die kragsituasie was dus nie problematies gewees nie.

The kudus that stalked us from the other side of the wire made you feel like you were in the wildlife park. We slept great. The bathroom was very unique. Ideal for a family that wants to spend time together. The cottage is outside the town but only about a 15 minute drive from the shops.

Perfect environment to really relax! Rest and peace for the soul.
Thank you very much for your hospitality! Enjoyed every moment! Longing for the silence, the bushveld atmosphere as well as for the dogs that came to keep us company! Many thanks to Sonja and her team for making the stay so comfortable with a holiday cottage with everything one might need! Absolutely perfect!

The forest feeling just around the corner!
Very neat and it really feels like you're staying in the woods and fields far from everything, it's just around the corner from us (Vanderbijlpark). Beautiful surroundings, neatly maintained and not just the usual amenities and decor. The visiting area is also lovely. We were two friends staying there and I slept in the attic - only minor complaint is that the beds lack headboards to prevent the pillows from losing. You might consider a plan. Would love to go there again. It's a really cute place.

The Ancient Copper Shed exceeded all my expectations.
One night away with my wife to this amazing destination. Conveniently close to Potch, but the feeling of woodland takes over as soon as you sit on the porch and watch the sun go down. Adriaan's eye for antiques and the detailed copper decorations everywhere in the place are excellent. We lacked absolutely nothing, and it was clear that every possible need of his guests had been thought of. The selections of pickled fruit in the kitchen was a pleasant surprise ─ keep up the good work. Unfortunately it was only available one night during our visit, but we are already planning our next (longer) getaway there. If you are looking for a place where you feel at home as soon as you walk in the front door and appreciate the finer things in life, then this is the place for you.

To book the place is really worth it, there is no TV or WiFi but it is a place to socialise and relax, the braai area is fantastic, everything you need is available. The place is very comfortable, the atmosphere is so peaceful you just want to relax. I'm absolutely crazy about the place, I'm still going to visit a lot. Two little things I want to tell the owner so that he is aware of, is that we struggled to find the place on Google Maps even after he sent the pin location, fortunately we were there before and were able to find the way, we would also like a little more privacy, for example a demarcation between the bathroom and the room because there are now moms and children and so on. Thank you so much for the friendly service, we will definitely see you again.

It was extremely difficult to find the place in the evening and the address was not 213 Wilgeboom but 26 Wilgeboom.
