The place is very near the Merthyr Village Shopping Centre, which has a variety of shops including a Coles supermarket, the fancy New Farm Deli, a seafood restaurant, and various other cafes and shops. Everything you need for a holiday is available. The apartment itself is compact but quite adequate for two people. There is clutter throughout the apartment, with a very large pot plant taking a considerable amount of space in the tiny dining area. The apartment is well equipment with everything you might need except for a dishwasher and washing machine (which is available on site for a fee). Keep food in containers so it is not available for nocturnal visitors. Finding the cutlery is a challenge. It is there - you just need to find it!
