Unfortunately I had to cancel our visit to the Connage at the last moment. However my sister and bother law were still able to go and had a wonderful time as described below:
"Gorgeous house in a spectacular location! Connage is brilliantly situated in historic Battery Point, with very good cafes and restaurants just around the corner. Salamanca Place with its market, great shops, restaurants and bars is literally a 5 minute walk down the historic Kelly Steps, and the wharf area with its famous fish and chips off the boats is just 5 minutes further on. We stayed over the New Year period and watched the early fireworks from Princes Park, just a few minutes’ walk from the house, and the late fireworks were excellent viewing from the lounge room window! The house itself is great - beautifully renovated, spacious and well furnished, with quirky decorations and very comfortable beds. The kitchen is well equipped, though with so many options close by we didn’t end up cooking! It was really nice to be able to sit on the front porch and in the back entertaining area, and having parking out the back was a bonus (though not suitable for large vehicles). We loved everything about our stay, and would highly recommend Connage".
