6 Southwood Retreat is a detached house featuring three bedrooms and one bathroom. The property sits on a generous 1,189 m² (about 0.12 ha) block of land.
The suburb of Bonython is situated only 1–2 km from the Tuggeranong Town Centre, putting the property within easy walking distance of the area's main workplaces, retail outlets and services.
ACTION bus routes 78 and 81 run through Bonython. Route 78 travels north to Tuggeranoff Interchange and east to Chisholm, while route 81 heads north to the same interchange and south to Lanyon Marketplace.
The house is close to several outdoor attractions: Lower Stranger Pond (≈1.5 km), Stranger Pond (≈1.5 km), Isabella Pond (≈1.4 km) and Pine Island Reserve (≈1.5 km). These areas offer walking trails, wildlife spotting and bushland scenery.
Bonython rests on Deakin Volcanics composed of green‑grey, purple and cream rhyolite. This volcanic bedrock forms the foundation of the suburb and Mount Stranger.
During morning peak traffic, a journey from Bonython to Civic, with a change at Tuggeranoff Interchange, usually takes about 40–45 minutes.
Bonython was named after Sir John Langdon Bonython and was gazetted as a Canberra suburb on 17 October 1986. The area was formerly grazing land before residential development began in the late 1980s, and it experienced the 2003 Canberra bushfire on its western and southern fringes.
