Courabyra Nature Reserve is located within the South West Slopes Bioregion of NSW. Although the vegetation in the reserve has been disturbed and is not a true reflection of that which existed prior to European settlement, the diversity in the vegetation of the nature reserve is considered to be significant given the lack of similar vegetation types in the region.

Courabyra Nature Reserve is important as an island habitat for a diverse range of native species. Nineteen species of mammals, including the feathertail glider which is uncommon on the South West Slopes, and 69 species of birds have been recorded in the reserve.

There are no facilities within the nature reserve and there is no public vehicular access to the reserve. The topography and size of the reserve, and surrounding private property, severely limits its potential for public use.
