Shipwrights Arms Hotel

Shipwrights Arms Hotel is a historic neighborhood pub and guesthouse located in Battery Point, Hobart, Tasmania. Known locally as “Shippies,” it offers a traditional public bar with beers on tap, a bistro-style dining area serving classic pub meals and Tasmanian produce, and comfortable guest accommodation in a heritage building. The venue caters to locals and visitors alike, with options ranging from casual drinks and meals to overnight or multi-night stays.

A Shipwrights Arms Hotel charge may appear on your bank statement for several reasons. Common scenarios include paying for meals or drinks at the bar or bistro (including shared group payments), settling a bar tab, booking accommodation directly with the hotel, or paying for a room through an online booking site where Shipwrights Arms is the underlying merchant. You might also see a pre-authorisation or security deposit hold for your stay, a charge for incidentals (like minibar, extra guests, or late checkout), or for events/functions hosted at the venue. In some cases, the descriptor may reference “Shipwrights Arms Hotel,” “Shippies,” or a similar shortened name.

If you are unsure about a Shipwrights Arms Hotel charge, start by checking any recent visits to Hobart, restaurant or bar receipts, and accommodation bookings around the transaction date. Look through your email confirmations from hotel or booking sites (such as Booking.com, Expedia, etc.) and compare the total amount and dates. To resolve questions, contact the hotel directly using the details on their official website at shipwrightsarms.com.au, providing the date, exact amount, and last four digits of your card so they can locate the transaction. Common billing issues—such as duplicate charges, bar tabs left open, or misunderstandings about deposits—are typically resolved by the venue issuing an adjustment or refund where appropriate once the specific bill is identified.
