For the kids, there are two private fantasy bedrooms; "The Jedi Academy" and "Narnia’s Wardrobe".
The Jedi Academy” offers young Padawans a chance to venture into a spaceship based training academy for future Jedi warriors, while the ship hurtles through the outer rim galaxies. Within the futuristic, industrial interior, is located the spaceship’s cockpit and control panels, from which one can peer into the deep abyss of space. we got two sets of bunk beds in the spaceship. The first set of bunk beds are designed for Padawans( younger kids) and they are shorter than other sets. We have another set designed for young Jedies to rest and be ready for master Yoda`s special training during the sleep!
“Narnia’s Wardrobe” is modelled around the land of Narnia, and appropriately accessed through an ornately decorated wardrobe which opens to reveal a magical, winter wonderland. When you step into the wardrobe, Narnia awaits with a snow-covered forest, stone mountain walls with an electric fireplace (the entrance to Mr. Tumnus’s home), luxury sleigh beds, a ceiling of stars, and of course the frozen lamppost!!
