Redwood rests in the gentle embrace of rolling hills, a landscape softened by the passage of time and the persistent breath of the sea. It lies 5.1 km south-west of Porirua (from Porirua: bearing 221°T), and is situated 13.5 km north-north-east of Wellington. The land here is a patchwork of verdant pasture, punctuated by stands of native bush that whisper secrets on the breeze, and the occasional glint of distant water hints at the proximity of Open Bay, some six kilometres to the east. The air itself carries a subtle tang, a reminder of the coastal influence, and the light, particularly in the late afternoon, has a pearly quality that washes over the undulating terrain, lending a quiet beauty to the everyday.

The economic heart of Redwood has long beaten to the rhythm of the land, with a strong tradition of dairy farming shaping its character and contributing to the rich, dark soil that sustains its fields. This agricultural heritage is evident in the well-maintained fences and the contented lowing of cattle that can sometimes drift on the wind, a sound that has become as much a part of the locality as the rustling of leaves. While farming remains a cornerstone, the proximity to the wider Wellington region has also fostered a growing connection to other industries, and travellers often find themselves drawn to the area for its quieter pace and access to amenities, with the Colonial Knob Walkway offering a popular route for exploration and a different perspective on the surrounding countryside.
