Found in a Sotheby's Auction catalog:

Gauguin's palm hut in Punaauia, a "suburb" of Papeete on Tahiti
For comparison:

1st Don the Beachcomber's in Waikiki

Frances Langford's Outrigger in Florida

If these places were Pre-Tiki, Gauguin's hut was ....Proto-Tiki! :D

This 70's Gauguin´s house photography includes signage that makes it look even closer to that Don the Beachcomber´s place. :)
