Appreciated Taeko’s welcome and tour of the home.
As one reviewer noted there is a public walkin trail and parking lot across the stream, however it does not appear to be used at all and does not distract from the experience. Wallabies and other wildlife share the back yard.
It is about a 30 minute walk to the downtown harbor, but there are plenty of options closeby - grocery stores, coffee shops etc. There is also a bus stop about 150 meters. I would definitely come back if I were in the area again
