It was great. Line was long, but expected because it was a long weekend. People are friendly so you do get to take your own individual photo despite the crowd.The only downfall is that they only have 1 toilet per gender. And on packed days theres a long queue to access it.

Wasn’t overly impressed. Interesting outing but found it a tad expensive. Once you’ve walked about, not much else to see. It’s a unique outing, but not one to repeat often unless you hosting guests from out of town.

Sufficient parking. Didnt know that you could picnic there. Just went for a short visit. Kids enjoyed it. Worth a visit but will not rush back. Good for pictures and laughs.

Very beautiful sight seeing. But they could do better with controlling the queues. More shading for people, the sun is hot.Also controlling the number of people in the house. It was a very uncomfortable experience because it was overcrowded.

When last did you take a drive to Hartebeespoort Dam and surroundings. We recently did some exploring and finally made our way to the Upside Down House BroederstroomIt definitely makes you feel slightly drunk. I was more worried that it feels like it needs some TLC and that my butt was going to fall through the wood 🤣Definitely a new experience. My advice go extra early before the crowds get there as they have a huge area for people to chill and have functions etc. Some people can be selfish and wont move out the way once taken pics to let others take pics, thats the only downside. There should be some sort of control so that everyone gets a chance without people getting upset when you ask them to move out the way when just standing there. I can only imagine the chaos the day before as that parking lot was overflowing with people as it was late in the day and a long weekend. They do open from 7am or 7:30am so you can take decent pics without tons of people in it. Get in, take pics, get out.#TheFoodMusketeer#TheFoodMusketeerTravels#TFMRoadTrip#TFMHarties

It is a very beautiful attraction and easy to find. The entramce fee is R100 for adults . You can bring your own food and spend they day there with family and friends. They have braai stands. I loved the colours of the upside down house. It is advisable to wear comfortable shoes.You can b seen cry creative with taking pictures, make it look like you are hanging from the furniture.

I love the place ..but still think R100 is steep ..maybe get the builder or tourist person to explain the inspiration behind this building.

Review №14

Its an interesting experience, but i think abit overpriced as itll only take you 15min to tour the entire house. It is packed on a weekend - they dont limit the number of people that enter at a time and they dont ensure that everyone keeps their mask on.

Review №16

Extremely long lines, first to queue at the ticket station and then again once you enter. R100 is too much for a less than 5 min walk inside. Nothing special to see. Waste of money and time. Rather go elsewhere or invest towards doing the zipline.Upside down house is not worth it

Really good outing for the whole family, lots of places to take nice photos for the memories. Restaurant service is top class, staff is friendly and helpful, menu is not big but there is something for everyone to fill the hole. There is a small shop where you can buy all sort of memory things for everyone for the day for Up side Down. The staff all over is friendly and very helpful. Remember your camera or charge your phone, lots of photos to be taken. Thank you Up Side Down for an awesome affordable day

The upside down house works out really expensive if you just going to see the house.My suggestion is that you make a day out of it and plan a picnic to get your money’s worth for the entrance fee.The views are breathtaking and the kids would definitely enjoy a day well spent

You wouldnt typically expect something this unique out in the middle of a smaller town environment, but Hartbeespoort has become very popular lately and this is a must-see for anyone who frequents or visits the area.You dont really know what to expect, at first, but we were very pleasantly surprised about how well-done it actually is, how surprisingly enormous the impact is, once youre inside and how friendly the staff is!A wonderful experience that anyone should bother to go and have!

Review №25

Very interesting tourist attraction. I do not suffer from vertigo but felt sick and disoriented as soon as we walked in. Would recommend for the experience but will not be visiting again. Also, huge grounds but not very much else to do except standing in line for a 15minute walk through the house. Also, amount of people entering the house at a time is not controlled so people just push past once inside and dont practice social distancing. Imagine feeling disoriented and being pushed past?

Review №34

Average. But worse. Queues are loooooong on weekends. You will wait atleast an hour or so before you get in. Bring an umbrella as theres little to no shade while you wait. The house gets packed. No one monitors how many people get inside the house at one time. People have their masks off. Its stuffy and hot. The kitchen and dining areas were cordoned off. Although people chose to ignore the tape. If you do come, do try and come when theres fewer people. The experience might be a lot better then.

A little underwhelmed about the place... Because the only interesting thing the is the house and it takes a few minutes to explore after that the isnt anymore attracts. But you can chill around and buy food and drinks.

The place is too hyped up and not well priced. No guides, no recording or explanation, just you walking around. It would be great to have a detailed explanation to how the house came about. The house is also not so clean.

The concept of the upside down house is very interesting but the experience did unfortunately not match the expectation. The two story house offers +eight upside down staged areas, ranging from a bedroom, study to a kitchen.

The furniture inside the house is upside.....then thats it nothing more is interesting. The R100 theyre charging is too much for that,the yard is big so much vacant be done like putting swings for kids.Covid 19 regulations are not followed properly also. Im not completely impressed

Review №50

A unique and creative idea. Awesome experience for the kids which is over very quickly. Everything in the house is built upside down which makes for some nice fun pictures, coupled with the floor inside the house being built at a slight angle that leaves you a bit dizzy by the time you walk out of the house. There is also a kiosk and a large covered sit down area. Overall it is something not to miss out on.

We had a breakfast bun and iced tea. There are a few jumping castles and a shaded area to sit and eat. A sweet little house tilted in its roof. Quite an experience and a bit disorienting when you walking in the house. Fun for all. Take some creative photos

Absolutely loved this place. A very unknown place but a must visit place. The experience is very different. The entry fee is also reasonable. They have a vast open space where this is constructed. There is a restaurant too where you can have food. Own food is also allowed.

If you go there to just view the house then most will feel like its money wasted, but if you go there to view and have chill day with some friends then it might be worthwhile, there is some braai facilities, sit benches, and some activities for kids (jumping castle and jungle gym) ....

Review №64

It was a nice experience, but a bit disappointed that the house was crowded with people taking photos. I would have had it that only 4 to 5 people can view the house without anyone cramping the space and only allow them for 5min or so... There is not much else to do...

Very wonderful. They have a shop to buy all your refreshments and food, and also a lovely area for kids. No time restrictions how long can one be inside. Covid19 protocols observed through out. Thanks for making my day so excellent.

Review №66

Its a quick tour. R100 gets you in. Pretty cool house. Wish there was a little more to do after the tour was done as it is a far drive for a short visit. A good add to your holiday if you are on holiday in the Hartbeespoort area. Go during the week because it gets busy weekends and school holidays. I would recommend.

Upside Down House is once in a lifetime visiting place where you can enter into a private property to see a house where the whole house is lying turtle on the earth. Its orientally very difficult to walk inside the house more than once, though they allow you to stand in the queue and re-enter. Your orientation is lost and can easily feel uneasy. The house entrance fees is R100 per adult and they have some of the restaurants and ice cream places too. You can also go for picnic as they have nice lapas built in by paying Picnic Fees of R50 which is nice. The bathroom and other facilities are clean and well kept. Good for a weekend trip to take some Instagram worthy photographs once in your life. Thanks

The place is crowded, not managed even with covid. No proper ventilation in the house and no one managing the numbers inside the house.This is not worth the money you pay at the gate. A total mess and waste of money

Review №78

Underwhelming to say the least.Youll spend more time waiting in the queue than you will inside.The entry fee is far too high for this experience. On entry into the house theres already several chains you cannot cross. You can make your way through the house in under 5 minutes as you cannot touch most things. The only accessible areas are the dining room and living room with a few upside down images on the wall. Theres absolutely nothing else on offer here to justify the R100 entry.

Review №82

A wonderful experience but..On a safety note; staff should be in the upside down house directing traffic especially during this covid 19 pandemic and making sure visitors are wearing their masks in the house especially! Also having sanitation points within the house is important.

Review №83

Overated. Place was stuffy with poor ventilation. Its probably a challenge on an upside down house but an aircon or fan would make the experience abit more comfortable. Was a decent experience nonetheless. Visit once...wont do it again.

Review №87

Loved the concept, something worth seeing. Cashier was welcoming and friendly, the queue was insanely long. Entrance fee is a bit pricey for only being able to view the house, not much other activities one can do. I would suggest they include a mini town or rides for the kids or even farm animals. Covid protocols not observed in the house and there is no one monitoring. Its a place you would see once out of curiosity however nothing else would attract you back.

Omg when I got inside I felt sooo dizzy but there is a caution on the door before you enter that its on your own risk and people who have a condition called ladybirth may feel discomfort. Means I have that condition cos I felt dizzy and couldnt walk normally straight felt like I would fall LOL but it was such a wonderful experience was very beautiful the house looked beautiful

Review №94

Its definitely something else, but I wouldnt say its worth the entrance fee. You only need about 10 minutes to make your way through the whole house. The house doesnt have much inside except for a few upside down couches, tables and chairs to be honest. Theres a restaurant and souvenir shop on site, but we didnt try them out. The main attraction, the house, is definitely not worth the entrance fee. If you are travelling from afar, you are wasting your time.

Costs a bit much for something that is over in a few minutes. Novel idea, though my son was underwhelmed and pointed out a few items in the house that were not upside down. Lots of potential to expand and enhance the experience.
