We had a fantastic stay at Kamena Lodge where Glynn and Ann look after all their guests with tremendous hospitality. Could not speak more highly of our experience and would highly recommend to anyone interested in visiting the beautiful city of Split. The lodge is easily accessible through local buses or Glynn's reliable drop offs / pick ups and all information and excursions are available through Glynn and Ann. We visited the waterfalls and had a wonderful day due to Glynn's extensive knowledge of the area and his cheeky little shortcuts which enabled us to have a special experience! The BBq's are delicious and a good way to socialise with other staying guests. They are also excellent value after travelling round Croatia and experiencing a number of restaurants. Breakfast also offers something for everyone at a very reasonable price. The Villa felt like home throughout our stay and you can use kitchen facilities if you purchase your own food from the bakery and really cheap shop which are very close by. We were travelling with our 3 year old daughter and she had a wonderful time interacting with the hosts and other guests. The pool is great and their assistance when visiting the football match was invaluable. These are very special people.
Will visit in the future as Glynn and Ann's knowledge of Croatia is second to none and nothing is too much trouble. We feel we have made good friends.

Myself and my friend stayed with Anne and Glyn, it will always be a special memory for me. The friendliness and help from this wonderful couple was so nice. Nothing was too much trouble. Their lovely home is a wonderful experience. Not to mention the great food and homemade wine. and of course there's the POOL!!! Such a great location a nice little deli up the road, bus within walking distance and Glyn is always happy to give you a ride into town if he is heading out. We had a great night out at the football with Glyn and Anne, that was a real experience, even though I'm not into football. Hope to back one day.

I travel extensively every year and I must say that Kamena Lodge is the best lodging I have ever stayed in. It is a small, very clean, comfortable space. The owners, Ann & Glynn, go out of their way to make each person's experience comfortable and they extend themselves to ensure just that. Kamena Lodge is about 8 kilometers outside of Split's downtown area. There is a daily shuttle that runs you into town at 10am and will pick you up at 5pm. Less than 2 kilometers away is a shopping center with everything you might need, including a spa and fitness center. Upon arrrival to the ferry port, train station, or bus station, you will be picked up free of charge. The same courtesy is extended when you depart.

There is a bus just down the road into Split if you choose to head out for the evening. If you choose to stay in, Ann & Glynn will play cards or games with the guests. If you prefer a quiet night to yourself, that is respected as well. While Kamena Lodge is not in the city center, the pool, the hospitality, and the comfort more than make up for the distance. I received great recommendations from the owners of things to do and see while I was in Croatia. My favorite activity was a day trip to nearby Kirka Park. The scenery was amazing and the cost was half of what it would have been with a local tour operator. I cannot rave enough about Kamena Lodge and I highly recommend it to all travelers.

Rarely do you find accomodation where you get the feeling that the hosts would pretty much do anything within reason to make your stay an enjoyable one. That's the feeling we got at Kamena Lodge.

We booked here because of a guidebook recommendation. Oddly enough, due to their policies Tripadvisor does not show this establishment as being located in the Split area, despite the fact that the drive from the hotel to the downtown core was around 10 minutes, so we didn't find it on a Tripadvisor search. Some policies just don't make much sense.

In any event, we booked in for the one night we planned to be in Split but wished we could have stayed longer. Really, although the room was comfortable, the pool was nice, and the rate very reasonable the star attractions of this place are the hosts, Glynn and Ann. Not just helpful, but welcoming in a way that you don't often see, such that after our half day of touring Split and arriving back at 10 pm, it seemed the natural thing to do to sit down at their communal outdoor dining area and enjoy drinks with them and several other guests who were staying there, even after we'd only just met and were leaving the next day. (Glynn's presence for several hours was remarkable because he had committed to drive two other guests, sound asleep in their beds, to the airport at 4 am.This seems representative of the extent to which they will go to satisfy their guests needs)

It's a really unique place in many ways-the kitchen is fully available for guests use, so had we not chosen the breakfast service option (a nice spread and good value) we could have made our own in the kitchen. Great for those on a tight budget.

Highly recommended, especially for those who enjoy the social aspect of travel.
