  • Hi, can we have a double bed split into two beds? We have three of us hoping to stay

    Hi, assuming it's three adults, we can add an extra single bed to a suite if that suits, so would be a double and a single bed. The additional cost is $50 plus an additional breakfast if required. Peter 0274460913
