Romantic mountain chalets abandoned in the Australian rainforest 

And here I am at 75, homeless. It hurts to see these empty. How I would love such a dear little quiet space of my own.

What a nice long adventure. 😁 Stop apologizing for your breathing. Please just take care. We're glad you ARE breathing!

I stayed there back in the early 2000's. The owners had no town planning permit and eventually the local authority forced them to close. The meal at the restaurant was very good, and the views superb.

It's a shame no one has purchased it they could do up one of the houses to live in.

Oh my Michael. I want to "de-mold" it clean it, make my adjustments and move in! So good to see you here today! I hope you're doing well 💕 and thank you for sharing this!

I stayed here in the early 2000’s and it was such a peaceful and idyllic place. It was only 15 minutes from home but it was just a short break from the normal every day. Cheers and hope you are as well as anything!

It must have been awesome to vacation there and being woken up in the morning by the calls of the birds. Thanks Michael for documenting and sharing💖

Oh my freaking WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very very very sorry to see the black mold. That could of been saved. That is a piece of Heaven. A lot of fallen trees. I would of closed the door to the one that had the dishes inside. Keep it in good condition for as long as possible AND it still had the heating stove.

Pretty nice cabins at one time. The forest was just amazing, thanks for sharing

Just opened my notifications, there are 27 & yours is my #1 choice right now. So happy to see your video! OMG it's absolutely gorgeous rain forest. Dream location for a home cabin or condo. Looks as though proper roof drainage has been a problem causing black mold inside these abandoned properties, such a shame because each one is pretty fantastic in their own right, eh?!! Love the sounds of the birds echoing through the trees, bushes & vines. The giant ferns are amazing! The views out to the water if trees & foilage were trimmed back, WOW! The wild mushrooms are so cool. I know envy is a sin but guess I'm a sinner cuz I totally envy the owners of these properties, homes/cabins/ condos. Goodness, don't apologize for your heavy breathing, totally understandable & let's face it, that's the only heavy breathing I've been privy to in years, LOL! 🤭😅😂🤣 The trip back down must be much easier than going up. I truly hate for this video to end. Thanks for one fantastic explore to several properties in a most delightful area with my fave Ausie You Tuber! 🙋‍♀️💜✌

What a beautiful find thanks for sharing this

I would love to live there.Absolutely beautiful

With a rainforest for a garden, i wouldn’t wanna sleep inside no matter how nice it was! 😍🙌🏽

This place isn’t in bad shape at all! A bit of mold but not bad! Nice find! Beautiful tile work.....could take this over...turn it into a Bed and Breakfast.......nice quite area.....secluded.....amazing.

Very nice video, I enjoyed the beautiful rain forest scenery with the Amazing Tree ferns. Nice functional cabins scattered in a maze of path in every direction. No wonder you were winded, must have walked miles looking for the isolated cabins. I bet each guest got a map to the resort so they wouldn't get lost. Thank you for working so hard to document this abandoned paradise. Hope your health is still Good. I really enjoyed the sights and sounds of the rain forest. Stay safe in this pandemic. I always enjoy watching your adventures of Abandoned properties......

One of the problems with being located in the rain forest is how quickly mold can set in. Wet rot will also do the same. It should be saved soon or will not be habitable for much longer. Looks so peaceful and comfortable. Thanks, Michael.

Not sure what keeps people from moving in. Bring the camp cooker a broom and some sheets and your all set. I would. Beautiful place.

The birdsong was just beautiful, great find!

I love this, I get so happy when you upload !

What a beautiful find, just so lovely and would be perfect place to live, thank you for sharing

What a beautiful find. I bet it was a nice place in its day. Love the sound of the birds and the cottages are simply the best. Glad you are doing well. Thanks for the great video. I enjoyed it.

OH someone found the old hippy dope farm again .

What a heavenly peaceful place to wake up in ! I do hope you are keeping well lovely and taking it easy 😎

Oh Michael! It was so good to see you put out a video. I enjoyed our walk thru the rain forest and peeking in to the romantic little cabins. It must have been amazing when it was up and going! Hope you are feeling better. I think it's time you gave us an update!! Take care ~ stay safe.

That would have been a nice place to relax and stay a few days.

What a find ,, that was excellent. Thanks for sharing,,

Wow that retreat is amazing plus all that senerary is beautiful. It looks peaceful. I can imagine how it looked like back then. Excellent find 👍🙂

I’ve been homeless for nely 2 years . Might go and some private inspections… lol

That's quite a find Michael ! In its day, you can see how it would have been a popular place to get away from the rat race for a relaxing or dirty private weekend away. You can't blame people squatting there for some comfort & quietness. I'm wondering if this place closed due to bankruptcy sometime in the mid to late 1990's. It's a shame that it can't still at least be used for rental housing, it wouldn't take much time to remediate the units and clear the tracks. Thanks for sharing your find. 👍

Hello Michael hope your doin well , such a pleasure seeing a video from you . This place is absolutely beautiful so relaxing and all thoes little mushrooms 🍄 so precious always enjoy your explores ❤.

What a fabulous place to go and stay. Shame it is abandoned. Hopefully someone will renovate and bring it back to life. I thought it was Cape Trib

Thanks for a great explore. The rainforest is wonderful but I could almost feel the humidity; remembering a rainforest trip of my own one summer long ago! The fungi, lichen, and the ferns were marvellous, as were the birds’ songs. Mother Nature is amazing and is reclaiming her territory. The chalets must have made a lovely getaway in their beginning. Was interested to hear your Cape Tribulation comments. That’s killer humidity, imho. No apologies for how you’re breathing are necessary. All your old subscribers understand. Just grateful you arrived home safely to post your video.

What a stunning situation and the bird 🐦 song was beautiful!! Wonder why they were abandoned as they're still in good condition? Don't worry about the 'heavy' breathing - love your videos. Gill 🇬🇧

Awesome retreat to bad it went belly up. Some one could be making a lot of money with it. I would love to stay in a place like that myself. Thank you Micheal.

Wow! Those were very nice at one time! Be careful breathing those mold spores!

What an awesome place great explore!!!

Thoroughly enjoyed the stroll 🇦🇺❤

lovely find would of been a beautiful place to stay back in its day

Breathing what breathing lol you sound better than me with my 1 lung. Fantastic find Michael enjoyed the jungle walk about some amazing plants and trees

Thank you for sharing these places with us but please be careful out their alone.

LOL, my rolling commentary while I watch!

Thanks, Michael ... as always a great video. Best wishes and positive health for 2021. Cheers, Ken

Thank you, mkeubler5, for such a lovely adventure! I was enjoying the vegetation and the birdsong. And I can imagine how humid it truly was. Mike, never apologize for anything. Especially your breathing! I would have been huffing and puffing right along with you!! Maybe worse. We love you for your sense of adventure and admiration of the history of the abandoned places you find. And through your channel, I also found UrbexIndigo, another whom I will gladly follow. You and your wee family are always in my prayers. Sending you love and virtual hugs from Canada.

What a find. It amazes me that no one is swatting there. It would be a good place if you where homeless. I can hear the occasional vehicle not far away . A lot of money was spent in building the Resort. I thoughly enjoyed it.

Beautiful but such a waste. I ❤️it.

Beautiful property in the rainforest! I can only imagine how gorgeous it must have looked when it was being maintained for guests. I enjoyed every minute of your video, Michael! And I can appreciate the labor you put into getting the filming. Its very humid where I live and can be difficult to breathe without having lung issues. Please take care and next time bring water, lol.

A very nice find Michael, that place was realy taken over by the jungle but not that much mold yet very strange, great explore thnx.

thats alote of work who built thes is awsome rain forest

Thankyou so much, i appreciate the effort you put in to bringing us such amazing explores 🙂

What a great find Would make a good post apocalyptic movie set now

why whisper,no one there

One of your best videos .

I would love to see what was further down that road. Well done, incredible find. You certainly have an eye for it.

Thanks Michael, what a shame this place didn't take off. I watched in double speed, I nearly had an anxiety attack a few times ;)

Fabulous. I would like to live there. The scenery was so much like our South Island West Coast area. Hard t believe it was Australia. Thank you. A bit hard to see, dark.. But none the less enjoyed it .

enjoyed

Queensland is full of abandoned resorts both on land and sea...they were stunning in there day, I worked on a couple was heartbroken to see them abandoned and in such a state...I wish I had more photos as memories and comparrison

WOW fantastic places

Egg-c-lent egg-splore! I would love camp in one of those!

Awesome.

I think this is a beautiful place! Thanks so much..😊🌟

43:44 Admit it your lost!!!!!😳😳😳. 49:46 Spotted the underground power box so I did expect the shed on you left soon. Good there it is. Thanks for the great explore.

Thank you for bringing us on that very pretty nature walk to see the bungalows in the jungle and a glimpse of the Gold Coast. 'Twas all very cool to see and hear the birds and your commentary. Great job with your new camera. Thanks for going through the effort to go back to film. You are very kind!!! I would have loved to vacation in the rainforest!! Interesting. Enjoyed!! 🎉💟☮️🎶💐👏👏👏

SOOOOOO.......I don't know, if you realize how funny you are throughout this video, but as usual, I have so missed your wit. In my current Qanon hell in the States, this was so needed, especially the very end- "I just saw the tail of something slither in here- I don't want to get too close, just in case". In case what, Michael? Lol The other standout? "I don't know where that shed has got to". Those sneaky sheds, Mike. Same thing happens to me every time I go up to Denver. When I'm ready to come home? Never fails, they've moved the damn on-ramps to the interstate. On more serious notes, I don't know anything about living in climates like this, but just imagining what it would take to make a venture like this successful, you would need so much from dehumidifiers, to generators, to whatever insect protection, an slithery anti-venom supplies you might need to keep on hand, just in case, PLUS, am I mistaken in that do you all not have some of the most toxic things ever, if they bite a human in the Bush? I don't mean attack, I mean insects- spiders, and snakes and such? Then, this also begs the question of whether human should be regulated against owning property where endangered animals exist, when they are going to potentially walk away and leave messes like this, and clear forest, for absolutely no reason at all, except to make a mess. Sorry, I adore most of your explores- this just made me angry, as far as what was left behind, irresponsibly. Your explore was phenomenal- I finally realized why I love the whispering. Because, it's just like if "I" was there, I would be talking to myself like this as well! Can you enlighten me as to what animals are found in this kind of forest? Sounds stupid, I know, but I live in the mountains, of Colorado, in the States, with Elk, Bear, Racoon, Skunk, and those sorts of animals, and all I can guess at are what I see on nature shows. Of note, at the beginning of the video, it will be reassuring to some to see, that even in the Australian Rainforest, Visa and Mastercard are still accepted, lol.

Leaving the doors open will only destroy the place even more from mould and mildew and it'll invite the animals in to shit and pee everywhere so leaving the doors open won't help anyway what a beautiful area, so much potential I could fix one of them up and live in it today so close the doors mate they're still in pretty decent condition

Pity the homeless can't fix these up, so as to live in them

You mentioned Cape Tribulation, I worked as the Restaurant Manager at Coconut Beach Rainforest Resort many years ago, absolutely loved the Long House Restaurant and living up there....

Oh my you could easily get lost amongst all those houses.

Very interesting

wow realy nice hell of a builders its great .

28:29 looks like a dark figure in the sauna 😱standing still watching in the dark

I would love the live out In the bush like this

Nice would have been nice in its day I would have been huffing and puffing too lol so don't worry about ❤️🐈 Melbourne Australia

Restorable shame about the evil black mold it costs a fortune 2 get rid off and always comes bk unfortunately thanks for taking us along on the explore must have had power once with he fridges and appliances.....could be converted to solar and wind.

Enjoyed the rain forest walk with you thank taking us along ... I am also Curious about that road where it leads too cheers 😊✌️ Happy 2021 🎊😊

I painted alot of this place

So many homeless So many abandon homes

I wonder where this place is the Qld gove should buy it and pore some money into it make it for the homeless

Are there mosquitoes the size of chickens back in that jungle? LOL

clear images

fantastic realy

Hi Michael, have you tried a salt inhaler ??? it has really helped my COPD I can now take deep breaths without feeling hindered and no wheeziness especially at night, get the Salitair brand though as it's the best but still under £20 pound sterling at Amazon. Perhaps 1 road was a walking road and the other was for cars with small layby's for each chalet ??, either way what a beautiful place it would have been back in the day and very restful listening to all the gorgeous birdsongs. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 🙏💖

Hey mkuebler5 - you may as well let people know where these are because they've obviously been abandoned for at least 10 years (looking at the microwaves and TVs) and by not saying where they are the rainforest will claim all of them - shame, because the fireplaces and the restaurant ovens and fridges and maybe some of the furniture could be saved.

Fishbowl lens? Was that really us living our best life...? If this is where I think, then I am afraid the fires a few years ago would have done for it. Just as well it is immortalised here.

Cool what a shame

All the cabins have 2 doors at their entry.. one open one closed. I wonder where the other door goes?

Tv's look to be 2000s hasn't been closed to long.

How do you find these places?

Wow.if you were homeless one dole check could get ya set up for a 6 week stay of work and exploring ..

Why wouldn't they offer it for sale ?

well pland out

why are u whispering ?

❤❤❤❤❤

I wonder who owns this place?

Are these in Springbrook?

has power ther not working runs on generator

Is for the bigfoot

its so thik

Should keep the location top secret keep the arsehole vandals away

pavment cool tar and gravil
