Literally, "Welcome to the house" (colloquial). Laoa is the name given to the residence/house/home of a talking high chief (Matai). A talking high chief is called a Tulafale/Fetalaiga/Tofa. Fetalai is speak/talk, hence the name Fetalaiga, a talker/speaker. If the high chief was an "Ali'i (Lord), then his residence is called "Maota". Laoa and Maote are the respectful ways of saying residence/house/home. So the most respectful way of translating your sentence is, "Welcome to the residence of ??? (then use the Matai name of the Tulafale/Orator.
