11 Southwood Retreat is a standalone house situated on a 769 m² block of land. The property offers ample outdoor space typical of residential lots in Bonython.
The address is in Bonython, a suburb of Tuggeranong in southern Canberra. Bonython was gazetted in 1986, named after Sir John Langdon Bonython, and was originally grazing land before residential development began in the late 1980s.
Bonython lies just a short distance from the Tuggeranong Town Centre, roughly 1–2 km away. This proximity makes many shops, services and employment opportunities easily reachable on foot or by bike.
ACTION bus routes 78 and 81 run through Bonython. Route 78 heads north to the Tuggeranong Interchange and east to Chisholm, while route 81 goes north to the interchange and south to Lanyon Marketplace.
Several lakes and reserves are within a few kilometres, including Stranger Pond (≈1.4 km), Isabella Pond (≈1.3 km), Lake Tuggeranong (≈1.8 km) and Pine Island Reserve (≈1.4 km). These areas provide walking trails and wildlife‑watching opportunities.
The suburb rests on Deakin Volcanics, consisting of green‑grey, purple and cream rhyolite. This volcanic rock forms the base of both Bonython and the nearby Mount Stranger.
Current weather conditions in Bonython are reflected by the Isabella Plains automatic weather station, located only a few hundred metres from the suburb’s eastern boundary. The TUGGERANONG (ISABELLA PLAINS) AWS is also situated about 1.9 km away.
