Upside-down house: Namibia’s newest tourist attraction

A Namibian first, the upside-down house on the Edenberry strawberry farm has become the latest tourist sensation. According to a statement, the house - which was officially opened late last month - has all the furniture in the opposite direction of a typical building, which generates an optical illusion for visitors. The peculiar house is the brainchild of farm owners Richard and Desery van Wyk and has attracted many social media influencers and visitors since 29 July. The Edenberry farm, formerly known as Naruxas, is located just 60 kilometres from Windhoek en-route to Rehoboth.Here, visitors can enjoy the upside-down experience as well as strawberry picking, picnicking and many family activities, the owners said.Defying gravity“Edenberry is the first in Namibia to offer this unique photo experience that defies gravity by walking or dancing on the ceiling. “The idea came to us during our devotional time. God is sovereign of an upside-down kingdom, the ground rules of which are different from the ground rules by which you and I are inclined to function, and our upside-down house is a demonstration of that,” Desery said.She added that it serves as their legacy to their children and grandchildren. “Inside, you will see special touches that are reminiscent of our own parents, grandparents and children.”Visitors can touch anything within their reach, including furniture on the ceiling, to take the coolest, surreal images to share with friends and family or online. The upside-down house can accommodate 10 people at a time, and takes 20 to 30 minutes to tour.Children and adults of all ages can visit the house at Edenberry strawberry farm, which is open daily from 09:00 until 14:00. Entrance is N$100 per person.
