Amber Guest & Conference is a newly established guesthouse offering conference facilities in the city of Welkom.

We are centrally situated in the heart of Welkom, the capital of the Goldfields, Free State, South Africa.

Welkom is a city in the Free State province of South Africa, located 160 kilometres northeast of Bloemfontein, the provincial capital. Welkom received municipal status in 1961 and was declared a city in 1968 on the 14th of February. In the years of segregation the township of Thabong was established for blacks and the township of Bronville for colored people.

The city is the hub of the Free State gold fields, serving several gold and uranium mines. In addition to mineral ore, Welkom produces such goods as steel, lumber, and beef. The city has a technical college and a technological institute.  Welkom is served by a small airport and a branch of the main railway between Johannesburg and Cape Town. The city is internationally known for the Grand Prix racing circuit located at its edge.

The city is named after the farm Welkom where gold was first found.  The word "welkom" is Afrikaans and Dutch for welcome. It is now the second largest city in the Free State.

Come and enjoy Free State Hospitality in this warm hearted mining community.
