How to create an object that is a type of an array?

So I have seen in different tutorials, or examples online of different classes using a composition of multiple classes to create a more complex object. I understand most of the creation of said objects, but one part I have seen baffles me, and I'm not sure how you would describe this type of class which is why I am finding difficulty researching it online.

An example of what I'm looking for would be

public class House{

private Kitchen kitchen;
private LivingRoom lRoom;
private Bedrooms[] bedrooms;

public House(...){}

}

The part of this that I don't understand is how to create the 'Bedrooms[]' class. Like if its an array, would it just be

Bedrooms[] rooms = new Bedrooms[5];

and this array would be created inside of a Bedrooms class? Please help shed light. If I haven't explained my confusion well enough, I can try to re-explain.

Since you've already created a House class, you know how to create classes. (That's stated for the fact of stating the obvious, and so this isn't a 1 line answer.)

All you need to do is to create a Bedroom class. Java will do the rest to make it into an array. All it is is multiple instances of the Bedroom class, which you can put different data into, just like any other array.

What you have is nearly already accomplishing your desired result. You wouldn't create a "Bedrooms[]" class, but you would create a Bedroom (singular) class to model a single bedroom, then have an array of Bedroom instances from that class you made. Ex) 

Bedroom[] rooms = new Bedroom[5]; // You now have an array of 5 Bedroom objects in House.
