Sica’s Guest House and Conference facility was opened in 1995 by Jan, Sica and Janus Horn. We started with 3 bedrooms and have grown the business to a 50 bedroom establishment with a restaurant, 5 x conference venues and much more. It is a family business with Janus Horn, active as the General Manager.
Jan Horn is in charge of maintenance, Sica Horn is in charge of PR relations and Kelly Horn is the admin person. We have 47 x permanent staff with many of them been with us for over 10 to 15 years. This is our little piece of paradise.
