Estate ease. Austin spirit.
Gardens, shaded terraces and the energy of a city with a distinctive racing address.
COTA Karting + Commodore Perry Estate, Auberge Collection. Austin combines COTA’s motorsport energy with the residential calm of Commodore Perry Estate, giving the week equal parts movement and retreat.
A house with a sense of occasion.
Commodore Perry Estate pairs an Italianate mansion and formal gardens with the warmth of an Austin stay. Poolside hours and meals on the terrace make the estate a destination in its own right.
Explore the city’s food, live music and neighbourhoods, then return to the quieter rhythm of the grounds. The combination gives parents space to choose between discovery and retreat.
The Parent Experience
The COTA setting. The right driver fit.
COTA Karting is part of the Circuit of The Americas environment. Its published standard kart sessions require drivers to be at least 16 with a valid driving licence; younger-driver activities use a different format. We discuss the appropriate programme before recommending Austin for a young driver.
Aurelian’s approach begins with driver assessment, then builds through practice and useful feedback. Confidence and sound judgement matter alongside pace.
Driver DevelopmentTwo experiences. One considered choice.
Austin’s racing character and the estate’s gardens create a compelling contrast. The sporting programme must be matched carefully to each driver’s eligibility.
