Does the restaurant in the yellow pages ad really exist? The one that has been built up a tree.

Yup. It's north of Auckland but the exact location is only given after you book. I haven't been there but it looks pretty funky!

It's in Woodhill forest - you can see it from the road as you drive north.

The website is www.yellowtreehouse.co.nz I think

They were doing dinners and lunches but they're fully booked now until they close in mid Feb.

They're closing cos it doesn't have a roof! It's open to the elements, so it was only ever intended to be open for a short period over the summer months.

It is pretty expensive I think. They do a set menu for something like $100 per head...

I also think they couldn't get resource consent to have it stay so it has a limited lifespan.

Yep, afternoon tea is $25 I think, and didn't look brilliant. Still, I guess you go for the novelty rather than the food.

It's only the dining area that's in the trees too, there's a massive walkway leading up to it but the food is cooked elsewhere. Cool novelty though.

I keep thinking of all the mossies and moths that you'd have to deal with when you're eating dinner. Do they charge extra if one lands on your food?

So they have to pull it down, or what? They could clear the area and make it a campsite with a walk up to the "restaurant" for a small fee or something?!

I really wanted to go to this restaurant for our first anniversary dinner but they are fully booked It was about $125 per head for a set menu for dinner, would have been something different that's for sure!

Would be great if they could do something permanent during the summer months.
