Two Fat Ponies (formerly Se7en On Sevenhill) - "The Sunrise Cabin"

Tucked away just two kilometres off the Horrocks Highway in Sevenhill, this working vineyard accommodation, Two Fat Ponies (formerly Se7en On Sevenhill), is a breath of fresh Clare Valley air with its lovely view of the vineyard and countryside.

Two Fat Ponies is located within a five-kilometre radius of over ten renowned Clare Valley wineries, it is the ideal spot to stay whilst you explore this classic rural region of colonial South Australia, the Clare Valley.

The space
Set on forty acres and with twenty acres of vines, the property is a lovely, quiet spot to refresh and unwind. Two Fat Ponies is designed as a couples retreat and offers two cosy log cabins perched side by side five hundred metres up the driveway off 60 Saw Mill Road, Sevenhill. Cute and quaint, the log cabin accommodation is quiet and in a romantic setting.

Each cabin is equipped with Queen size beds, a bathroom, lounge area and a kitchenette. Both the Sunrise and Sunset cabins enjoy spectacular views, as well as air conditioning in the summer and pot belly fires in the winter (firewood is available for purchase).

In the mornings, you will wake to the sounds of the abundant birdlife and the odd kangaroo and wild deer. It is a bird watchers paradise. The night skies resemble a planetarium when the skies are clear of cloud cover. Astronomy lovers have stayed to view the spectacular vision of stars from the cabins high up on the hill!

Guests are welcome to stroll around the property via the pathways and take photos of their experience, as it’s a unique opportunity to have access to a working vineyard and to enjoy the feeling of having the tranquil property to yourself! The owner’s animal family also live on the vineyard, and you may see two very cute ponies, some pet sheep and a very active working dog who will love to play fetch with you!

Whether it is a barbeque with magnificent views from the cabin or a picnic down by the dam, it’s an ideal setting for romance, and to enjoy a platter and a few wines to finish off your day of touring the region. There is a fire pit and guests are encouraged to fire it up.

Two Fat Ponies – “How’s the serentity!”

Guest access
Guests have access to the entire cabin and are welcome to walk around the property using the paths.

Other things to note
Be prepared to have a fantastic unique working vineyard experience although you may experience some dust especially in drier months. Even with regular pest control we have millepedes who come and visit the cabins especially during harvest and after the rain! As with all country living there may be the occasional creepy crawler visitors but we supply bug spray and a dust buster.

Please note that we are not able to accept bookings with infants and children under 12 years of age due to safety issues. Only registered guests may access the property.

Engagement/Birthday weekend
My partner and I stayed in the sunrise cabin last weekend. It was lovely and very inviting. The cabin had everything we needed and a beautiful indoor fire which heated the place up. The views overlooking the vines were spectacular and we couldn’t fault anything from our weekend stay. We will definitely be back.

Anniversary weekend away
A little larger than a cabin in the caravan park, and on par. Would be much quieter, with far better views over the vineyards. Julie and Peter very pleasant owners, giving us information of the area.

Dated!
Cottage was warm and bed comfortable, but otherwise the property was dated and many things old-fashioned and tired (rather than charming!). No internet (as expected from Stayz advertising). Nice gesture to leave a bottle of wine and welcome note on Stayz, but otherwise disappointing. Not good value for money.

Lovely property
Really nice stay. The home was warm and cosy. Fire wood was fabulous and the outdoor fire pit was great. Lots of good about this place. Very comfortable bed. The only negative would be - they definitely need to up grade the 2 mountain bikes. They were old and rusty. Very unsafe. One of the brakes on one of the bikes didn’t work at all. Terrible condition. We ended up going to hire 2 bikes from Clare instead to ride on the trail. Over all had a lovely 2 night stay.

Perfect spot to enjoy the Clare valley wineries and to unwind and enjoy the views
Really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was clean, modern, unfussy and really comfortable. The place warmed up really quickly (it was a very cold weekend) and the log fire added to the cosy feel. Lovely to wake up to the panoramic views and kangaroos sunning themselves on the hill! We would definitely recommend stay here.
