Owned and operated by the Salvation Army, the Waioli Tea Room had a chapel, numerous themed dining rooms, lush gardens, and the supposed actual hut that Robert Louis Stevenson lived in during the late 1800s.

I've always ignored this brochure on eBay because there are no tikis in it.

However this one was in a scrapbook and it was accompanied by a snapshot of one of the private dining huts in the garden:

The Waioli Tea Room still does business, but I'm sure the Prince Hinoi hut must be long gone. The Robert Louis Stevenson hut blew down during some high winds in 2003.
