'''DK's Tree House''',<ref>''Donkey Kong 64'' North American instruction booklet, page 33.</ref> or '''Donkey Kong’s Treehouse''',<ref>M. Arakawa. ''Donkey Kong Country'' Player's Guide. Page 1. "''We’ll take you all the way from Donkey Kong’s Treehouse to King K. Rool’s ship.''"</ref> is a starting point in several games of the [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' series]], as well as a recurring background location in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. Located in the jungle portion of [[Donkey Kong Island]], it is built above the [[banana hoard|banana cave]], where the [[Kong]]s keep their stash of [[banana]]s. DK's Tree House was originally portrayed as a wooden cabin perched on top of a tree trunk, but more recent stances picture it as a {{wp|rondavel}} hut raised on stilts high above the ground. The house is generally furnished with a television, a bed or hammock, a rug, and various pictures on walls. The tree house is also commonly associated with [[tire (object)|tire]]s, appearing both in and around it as simple furniture, as a swing or as a means of bouncing up to the house.

==History==

[[File:DK's Tree House DKC GBA.png|thumb|The tree house in the Game Boy Advance version]]

In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance remake]], there is a [[photograph]] is hidden behind the bunch of bananas, and it depicts a group picture of Donkey Kong and [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] swinging from a rope on the eleventh page of the [[Scrapbook (Donkey Kong Country series)|scrapbook]]. After defeating [[Really Gnawty]], if Donkey Kong and Diddy enter the treehouse, they encounter [[Very Gnawty]] inside. In doing so, Very Gnawty turns around and hops out of the treehouse, an even that occurs only once per save file. The treehouse interior was redesigned to show more discarded items lying on the floor, and the portrait of Candy, a table with a vase, and the bed now all appear against a wall straight across from the entrance.

The interior of DK's Tree House looks entirely different than in ''Donkey Kong Country''. It has a leaf hammock instead of a bed. It also has objects from earlier ''Donkey Kong'' games such as [[Cranky Kong]]'s phonograph from ''Donkey Kong Country'' and a red girder from the original ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' arcade game. There are several [[barrel]]s and [[crate]]s, as well as banana peels lying on the ground. DK's Tree House still has a framed picture of Candy. A red mat with the DK emblem is on the ground, and there is a framed photograph of a dolphin (possibly a reference to the [[Nintendo GameCube]], which was code named "Dolphin" at the time). Instead of steps, the Kongs can use a palm tree to climb up into the tree house.

[[List of Donkey Kong 64 pre-release and unused content|Early screenshots]] of the game showed that there was going to be a shower stall in DK's Tree House with a poster of [[Banjo]] and Kazooie on it. The shower and posters were removed in the final version of the game.
