About 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from Shipwrights Arms Hotel on my statement if I stayed in Hobart recently?

Shipwrights Arms Hotel operates both as a pub and guest accommodation, so accommodation charges, deposits, and bar/bistro spending during your stay may be combined or billed separately. If you booked a room (either directly or via an online booking site), the hotel may process the final payment at check-in or check-out under its own merchant name. Compare the charge with your booking confirmation and any folio or tax invoice you received at departure.

What are typical amounts I might be charged by Shipwrights Arms Hotel?

Common transaction amounts include smaller charges (e.g., AU$20–$100) for bar tabs or meals, and larger totals (e.g., AU$150–$400+) for nightly accommodation or combined room-and-meals bills. Package deals, multi-night stays, and group dining can result in higher single charges. Actual prices vary by room type, season, and menu choices, so check your booking confirmation or dining receipt for the exact total.

Why is there a pending or temporary Shipwrights Arms Hotel charge on my card?

The hotel may place a pre-authorisation (hold) on your card at check-in or when starting a bar or restaurant tab to confirm available funds. This is not an actual sale but a temporary hold that usually matches or slightly exceeds your expected spend. Once your final bill is processed, the hold is either converted into the final charge or released by your bank within a few business days, depending on your card issuer’s policies.

How can I get a copy of my receipt or tax invoice from Shipwrights Arms Hotel?

You can request a copy of your receipt by contacting the hotel directly via the details listed on shipwrightsarms.com.au. Provide the date of visit or stay, the name the booking or tab was under, the exact amount charged, and the last four digits of your card, so staff can locate the correct transaction. They can usually email you a tax invoice or itemised bill for both accommodation and food/beverage charges.

How do I cancel or change my accommodation booking with Shipwrights Arms Hotel?

If you booked directly with Shipwrights Arms Hotel (by phone or through their website), you’ll need to contact the hotel to adjust or cancel your reservation according to their cancellation policy, which may vary by rate type and season. For bookings made via third-party sites like Booking.com or Expedia, cancellations and changes must generally be handled through that platform, and their terms (including any fees or non-refundable rates) will apply. Always check your confirmation email for specific cancellation deadlines to avoid unwanted charges.

How do I dispute a charge or request a refund from Shipwrights Arms Hotel?

First, contact the hotel directly and explain the issue, such as suspected double billing, incorrect amounts, or items you don’t recognise on your tab or room folio. Have your bank statement, any receipts, and booking confirmations ready so staff can verify the details. If an error is confirmed, the hotel can process a refund or adjustment back to your original payment method; depending on your bank, it may take a few business days to appear.

Why is my Shipwrights Arms Hotel charge higher than the room rate I saw online?

The final amount on your statement may include additional items such as meals charged to your room, drinks, minibar, late checkout, extra guests, or public holiday/weekend surcharges. In some cases, online rates exclude certain fees or are shown in a different currency, and your bank’s conversion and any international transaction fees can slightly increase the total. Request an itemised invoice from the hotel if you need a breakdown of all charges.

How can I contact Shipwrights Arms Hotel about a charge I don’t recognise?

Visit shipwrightsarms.com.au and use the listed phone number or email address to reach their reception or reservations team. When you contact them, provide your full name, transaction date, exact amount, and the last four digits of the card used so they can search their records. They can confirm what the charge relates to—such as a bar tab, meal, or accommodation stay—and help correct any mistakes if needed.
