It lies 4.8 km west-south-west of New Lynn (from New Lynn: bearing 240°T), and is situated 14.1 km south-west of Auckland. The air here carries the faint, briny tang of Wood Bay, though the nearest significant body of water is still a kilometre or two away, a whisper of the ocean rather than its roar. Native bush, thick and vibrant, clothes the surrounding hills, a verdant cloak that softens the edges of the land and offers glimpses of the sprawling Waitakere Ranges in the far distance. The quality of light here is particularly fine, especially in the late afternoon, when the sun slants through the leaves, casting long, dancing shadows and painting the undergrowth in hues of emerald and gold.

This locality, Konini, has a history woven with the quiet industry of the land, its economy once tethered to the fertile soil that yields its bounty. While the coastal proximity to Wood Bay hints at a maritime past, the true heart of Konini lies in its agricultural roots and its connection to the surrounding bush. The nearby Ceramco reserve stands as a quiet reminder of past endeavours, a nod to the human imprint upon this natural canvas. Today, Konini continues to draw its character from this blend of terrestrial and maritime influences, a place where the rhythm of the seasons dictates the pace of life, and the distant murmur of the sea is a constant, gentle companion.
