Upside Down House of Borneo
Rumah Terbalik
The first upside-down house in Borneo, with all the furniture hanging from the ceiling. A popular spot for fun photos.
The Upside Down House of Borneo is in Tamparuli, about 30 km northeast of Kota Kinabalu. It opened in 2012 and is said to be the first upside-down house in Borneo. The two-storey house is built in traditional Sabahan style and is turned completely upside down. The living room, kitchen and bedroom furniture, and even a car in the garage, all hang from the ceiling. Staff lead guided tours and show you how to take photos that appear to be standing on your head. There is also a café and a souvenir shop. Admission includes a guided tour, which takes about 30-40 minutes. It can be combined with the Kiulu River rafting or the Tamparuli suspension bridge on the same day.
