The village is located at the northern edge of the county, on the border with Covasna County. It lies in the southern part of the Baraolt basin, on the left bank of the Olt River. Nestled at the foot of the Perșani Mountains, 475 m (1,558 ft) above sea level, it is 50 km (31 mi) away from Brașov, the county seat. The Augustin train station serves Line 300 of the CFR network, which connects Bucharest with the Hungarian border near Oradea.

At the 2011 census, 51.8% of inhabitants were Roma, 46% Romanians and 2.2% Hungarians.

In 2007, the Augustin hermitage for nuns was built on the spot known as Monastery Hill, after a monastery that used to be there, before being destroyed in 1760.[2]
