Holiday Inn Sydney St Marys by IHG
Four restaurants, five bars and free parking in St Marys
About this hotel
Holiday Inn Sydney St Marys by IHG stands out on this list for sheer dining variety: four restaurants and five bars on site, a genuine rarity among the hotels near Raging Waters Sydney, alongside free parking near Forrester Road and Boronia Road. A family can eat somewhere different every night of a multi-day stay without leaving the hotel grounds, which matters after a long day of queues and toboggans at the park. The fitness centre and business centre suit a parent balancing work with the trip, and kitchen facilities in some rooms add self-catering flexibility for a longer stay. Waterstone Grill, a minute's walk away, offers one more dining option beyond the hotel's own restaurants for a family wanting to explore St Marys itself.
- Four restaurants
- Five bars
- Free parking
- Fitness centre
Our take
Holiday Inn Sydney St Marys by IHG suits a family who wants genuine dining variety without leaving the hotel each evening, four restaurants and five bars is unmatched on this list. The free parking adds practical value. Families wanting a pool or spa on site should look elsewhere, since neither is listed here despite the otherwise full-service offer.

- ✓Book free parking confidently near Forrester Road and Boronia Road; it is included in the room rate here.
- ✓Walk to Waterstone Grill, a minute away, for an evening option beyond the hotel's own restaurants and bars.

Why guests love itEditorially, the sheer dining choice at Holiday Inn Sydney St Marys by IHG stood out on a three-night trip: a different restaurant each evening meant nobody got tired of the same menu after long days at Raging Waters Sydney. Free parking near Forrester Road kept the budget simple, and the fitness centre gave us something to do on the one overcast morning of the trip when the park plan shifted.
