Conference and Event Manager

Perched above the stunning Roebuck Bay in Broome, The Mangrove Hotel is home to two flagship dining venues adored by visitors and locals alike. At the heart of our hotel, these venues are open to our hotel guests, along with visitors and locals from town who frequently visit to soak up our electric atmosphere and delightful views of the bay.

Our hotel’s flagship restaurant, Johnny Sausage, is a Top 100 Food Restaurant nominee serving up authentic Italian cucina, serving breakfast daily and dinner Wednesday – Saturday. With an irresistible menu and cheeky personality, this vibrant venue is a celebration of Italy’s rich tapestry of flavours and has become a local favourite.
