Your Longreach venue for meetings and conferences

Be inspired by outback surroundings

The Welcome Home makes a refreshing change from hotel function rooms and is a great setting for meetings and events. The outback-themed space in the heritage heart of Longreach will help bring pioneering spirit and ingenuity to your next AGM, Board meeting, workshop or conference!

A memorable venue

In a restored 1920s hotel, we have created a space that works for many types of meetings of 10 to 56 people. It can be used as a single room or divided into breakout areas. Decorated with outback memorabilia collected from the surrounding region, the function room sets the scene for a distinctive get-together. Amid the inspiration from the past, you’ll find the present day equipment you need including WiFi, audio system, microphones, display screen TV and whiteboards.
