Two Fat Ponies (formerly Se7en On Sevenhill) - "The Sunset Cabin"
Tucked away just two kilometres off the Horrocks Highway in Sevenhill, this working vineyard accommodation, Two Fat Ponies (formerly Se7en On Sevenhill), 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.

We stayed 3 nights in the sunset cabin and had an amazing time in this cute and cosy cabin.Its very private and has great views.The log fire was definitely a highlight for those cold and frosty nights. The location is great and close to lots of wineries and pubs. We would definitely recommend and will stay again for our next Clare Valley visit. Thank you.
We had a lovely stay here,complimentary wine on arrival, would highly recommend.Situated on a lovely picturesque vineyard where you can watch the sunset and stargaze at night.
Kitchen with everything you need.
Can't fault the place.
We were staying in Clare for a function at Skillogalee and the property was right next door which was a perfect location.
We really enjoyed the quiet and peaceful surroundings including the wonderful views of the lake and vineyard.
An excellent location with stunning views over the vines and hills beyond, quiet and peaceful with just birdsong to tune into. Would recommend a stay here. 👍👍
A very inviting and comfortable log cabin perched on a hill overlooking vineyards...it doesn't get much better!
We enjoyed the slow combustion heater, the coffee & treats, the very convenient location near wineries & the new Clare Valley Wine & Wilderness Trails. We highly recommend this property & look forward to returning in the future.
Great location overlooking the vineyard with awesome views. Beautiful quiet secluded spot but only minutes to Sevenhills hub with 6 wineries very close by. Clean neat & everything was spot on 👌

Had a lovely 3 nights.... Quiet, great views, sitting by the outdoor fire pit with a glass of red! Oh and the marshmallows. Hosts were great, plenty of wood for the fires! Don't forget the ponies, the Flinstones, ducks and kangas.
Really enjoyed the stay 😊
This is a well appointed cabin with spectacular views and a perfect place for exploring the Clare Valley. It was wet and cloudy on our winter stay but Peter and Julie had the fire going to welcome us. The animals on their property are friendly and fun. We would stay again. Highly recommended.

This property is a delight, our hosts Peter and Julie were amazing. Super nice touches to make the stay a wonderful experience - like the fireplace being prepared and ready, a bottle of wine on arrival, the fire pit prepared if required.
The location is ideal for wine tasting and dining in the Clare region. The property is super quiet, very relaxing.
We will be returning, outstanding.
The setting of this cabin was lovely with the view of the vines and the kangaroos resting between them. The winter sun in the afternoon warmed us and was very welcome.
It was a very relaxing stay. Thank you.

Lovely cabin, one of two located on a hill amongst vineyards. A great view to the valley and dam below and I think beyond the valley as well however as it was raining most times that we were in the cabin, I couldn't tell.
everything was provided, including a milk in the fridge, ground coffee, and a bottle of their own wine.
A couple of ponies in the paddocks, okay to talk to but a little shy.
The millipedes can be a nuisance but we were made away of this beforehand and comes with staying is a rural location like this.
The moment we arrived we relaxed, it really was the perfect vineyard spot with unparalleled views. Thank you Julie and Peter for the lovely wine and treats, much appreciated.
Really enjoyed staying here. Very quiet, relaxed, and lovely outlook and view. Being able to see birds, animals, vines and plantings was lovely. Accommodation had a good range of stuff to enable a pleasant stay
