The Castles Nature Reserve contains a limestone karst system with at least one cave that is used by bats for hibernation, as well as a cave dwelling spider unique to the area. There are extensive areas of shatterwood rainforest as well as other rainforest associations. Due to the natural values of the reserve, most of the reserve has been listed as part of the Central Eastern Rainforest Reserves of Australia (CERRA) World Heritage Area.
