Hi, I am building a site for an accommodation provider. She wants to access one page of the site to update her bookings to show her rooms availability. Can this be set up in Freeway? Thank you

The keyword could be CMS (Content Management System).
There’s actually a longer thread about here:

Maybe it is giving you some inspirations.

I would use something like http://www.ajaxavailabilitycalendar.com/ an availability calendar that can be integrated into a FW page and the client can then have access to an Admin page that she can update as she likes.
Not difficult to do.
There are numerous similar scripts out there (have a look at hotscripts.com) that will work fine in a FW page.

Hi,
There is also this: Availability Calendar | PHP Availability Calendar Script | PHPJabbers
Which I used on this site: http://www.clunskea.co.uk/
Easy to implement - well I managed, so that means easy:)
And non computer savvy client also manages to update it without problem.

You will need access to your server space and the availability of PHP and a MySql database.
You would start by creating a calendar database noting the username, password and full database name of it.
If you have downloaded and unzipped the files from Ajax Availability then you will have a number of folders and files - these folders/files then need to be FTP’d to your server space and put in a folder there - give it an appropriate name like ‘calendar’. They are currently in a folder called ‘ac-v3.03.02’ you can just rename that folder to ‘calendar’ before putting it on your server.
Once the files are on the server then use your browser to visit yoursite.com/yourcalendarfolder/install.php
Once there you can run the installer and you will be asked for usernames, database name etc.
This will configure the calendar and you are ready to go.
The easiest way to display the calendar in a FW page would be through an iFrame using the iFrame action
Draw an instance of the iFrame action on your page (where you want the calendar to appear) make it 600px wide and 300px high and set the source for the iFrame to be yoursite.com/yourcalendarfolder/index.php In the action palette choose Other then External and type in the url as above.
This will get you up and running and if you want to change colours etc that will have to be done in the avail-calendar.css file on the server.
I know this probably sounds a bit daunting but as long as you have access to a server standard CPanel it is pretty straightforward and we can walk you through it.
