The main building is the homestead which housed the manager, his family and servants. Some of the original stone wall which protected the gardens is still visible. The Great Northern Railway also ran parallel to Kanyaka Station; the raised roadbed of the old narrow gauge railway can still be seen today. Visit the site and see the enormity of the ruins and imagine in its heyday how big Kanyaka Station was.

The Quorn Native Flora Reserve provides a relatively natural setting, offering a pleasant and easy short walk within minutes of the town centre of Quorn. There is an interesting mixture of plants which are familiar in the cooler climate of the Adelaide Hills and those which are more common in arid locations. Quorn lies in a transition area, as the surrounding hills promote a higher rainfall in a place which otherwise would be quiet arid. Seasonal variations from the hot and dry to the cool and moist have sorted out the plants which are able to survive here. Birds are dependent on this vegetation and in some season you should see a wide variety.

Warren Gorge is located 21 kilometres north of Quorn on the Arden Vale Road, this is a fully sealed road. Immediately beyond the entrance campground is the Warren Gorge itself. The jagged bright orange rock formations provide a stunning contrast alongside the bright blue sky, the sharp contrasting greenery of the native Cypress Pines and the clear waters of the creek running through the Gorge. Between these rock formations, a road follows a small creek and enters a wider valley where there are numerous areas to camp. Access to this area is easily accessible and suits caravans, four-wheel drives and camper trailers, many of which form their own personal "campground" under trees and overlooking the main creek which is the main water source for the Yellow Footed Rock Wallaby. The Rock Wallabies are most prevalent at dawn and dusk, and are attracted to the water that runs through the creek for the majority of the year. Alongside the creek in the campground is a 5.2 kilometre walking trail that criss-crosses the creek several times past reeds and among tall gum trees.
