Cleveland Hotel

The Cleveland Hotel is a two-story masonry structure with verandahs and a corrugated iron roof located on Shore Street North. The original layout included a bar, parlor rooms, bedrooms, storage, and stables for horses.

John Vincent Cassim from Mauritius and his wife Mary established the hotel in 1860 as a commercial hospitality business. It was converted to residential apartments after 1929 and later adapted for office use.

The building served as a gathering place for the local Catholic community until the first church was built in Cleveland in 1877. It functioned as an important social hub for residents at that time.

The building is easily located on Shore Street North and can be viewed from the outside as it is a heritage-protected structure. Visiting during daylight hours allows you to see the architectural details of the facade clearly.

A jetty built behind the building in the 1920s functioned as a berthing point for boats traveling to Dunwich. This small waterfront facility was an important connection for water transport in the region.
