NEW: Luxury French Country Retreat in the Hunter Valley

Where French provincial charm meets the rolling vineyards of the Hunter Valley. Soft linens, warm textures, and thoughtful details to help you unwind. Mornings begin with coffee on our sun-drenched balcony, afternoons spent over long lunches and wine tasting, then unwinding with a glass of red as the sun sets. La Maison du Vin, at Cypress Lakes Resort, is a 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom, adults-only villa with views and fireplace, near wineries, restaurants, markets, concert venues and golf courses.

Step into a space where the charm of provincial France meets the rolling vineyards of the Hunter Valley. La Maison du Vin is a north facing villa, so it's bright and airy, the sun warms the living areas from first light in the morning for most of the day. There's an open gas log fireplace in the living room and reverse cycle air-conditioning.
