There are kangaroos and wombats on the property. Kelburn has quiet farm roads, for bike riding or walking and some lovely paths by the Mulwaree Ponds and in a forested area. Kelburn is also a wonderful place for birdwatching, and provides a mixed habitat for more than 120 bird species. The Mulwaree Ponds attract bitterns, both species of spoonbills, cormorants and a variety of ducks. The gardens attract numerous migrating songbirds, and from the farmland and forest one can enjoy a variety of raptors, including Little and Wedgetailed eagles, peregrines, brown falcons, harriers and kites. Kelburn is situated only 15 minutes from Goulburn, 10 minutes from Wakefield Parkway and an hour from Canberra. Kelburn experiences 4 distinct seasons. Winter is bracing, with the dramatic outline of magnificent deciduous trees as they lose their leaves. The Shearers' Quarters has a very cosy woodfire and gas heating in the living areas, and heaters and electric blankets in the bedrooms. Spring is radiant with the drama of new life, the blossoms and bulbs emerging. Summer brings on a kaleidoscope of garden colour, warm days which cool down at night. The living areas and bedrooms of the Shearers' Quarters all have ceiling fans, Autumn is "the season of mellow fruitfulness" and the leaves turning orange and red. So if you are looking for somewhere to stay where you can just enjoy being on the farm, or visiting nearby places, Kelburn is a fantastic choice.
