Ok i am not good with php, thought a widget might already exist but cant find one.

I am trying your "if" code,

not sure how to specify the page?
Url is: http://bookings.australianluxurystays.com.au/?page_id=269

would i use '269'

or 'page_id=269'

Have put the below code in a text widget, I guess i need to start with something to let it know to read the php

if is_page('269') {
[booking nummonths=1 type=5 form_type='standard']
} else if is_page('270'){
hello page 270
}
else{

}

You need to be using a text widget that supports php

you should just use the numbers

Here are some good samples on conditional tags

But lets go for a plugin solution
This will allow you to display custom fields

Now we need a way to add an interface for adding the data to each page
