Things to do in Hartbeespoort – Upside Down House
The Upside Down House in Hartbeespoort, South Africa is a unique attraction that attracts a lot of people, in South Africa and beyond. People are drawn to the fact that the house is a complete inversion of a normal house, with all its contents, from furniture to the décor, mounted on the ceiling, not on the floor as is what would be normal.
I first came across the idea of an upside down house on a trip to Thailand back in 2018, and at the time I had no idea we even had something like that in South Africa. I found the idea super fascinating, and on getting back and heard about our version of an upside down house right in Hartbeespoort, I knew it was something that I wanted to experience right here at home.
Located in Hartbeespoort (a mere 45 minutes from Johannesburg/Pretoria), the Upside Down House is a great attraction. Just imagine a fully furnished house that has literally been flipped upside down and mounted on its roof.
Just like in Thailand, visitors are able to experience this tourist attraction, walk into the house and experience seeing the furniture upside down, as well as experience what it feels like to be “walking” on the ceiling.
The Upside Down House is a unique experience that everyone should experience, something that everyone can enjoy, from children to adults. It’s a great place to take time on a Sunday afternoon to enjoy, with family or friends. You can also experience this with your partner, which makes it a great date idea.
I am sure you have heard the saying that if there’s no picture to show for it, then it didn’t happen. So, as you create memories of your experience, make sure that you snap some pictures, as a “picture is worth a thousand words”. With pictures, it is better to show someone this unique experience, in addition to telling them about it.
