History of Cameliers

Cameliers Guesthouse was taken over by Fusion in 1985. The original building, Stokes Geraldton Coffee House, has seen a number of uses in it lifetime; as a stopping of point for Camel Drivers, as quarters for local police and their horses, and as a boarding house. Albert Facey, in his book “A Fortunate Life” describes his visit to Geraldton and his stay at Stokes Coffee Palace. After a long a hard life Cameliers had fallen into disrepair. When Fusion took over Cameliers to provide a low cost accommodation service to people in Geraldton, it had been closed down by the Health Department. Gradually, room-by-room the building was repaired and opened to the public. Today Cameliers still bears many of the marks of its long and hard life, but it is now home to many a traveller. Many have found Cameliers to be a refuge from the challenges and loneliness of our consumerist world.
