Character filled building with lots of original features and a great location in Battery Point. The atmosphere with the crews arriving after the Sydney to Hobart was a lot of fun.. it is a pub so don’t expect it to be quiet all the time.

Great place , easy to access and parking. Disappointing that there was a very noisy refrigeration unit that cut in and out at night Not enough to keep you awake but enough to be annoying.

By mistake I booked a basic room and that is what ones gets, a bed and shared facilities. This is not a complaint, more a description of the facilities of basic accommodation

More or less everything you need in a good area
Although you don't expect too much from "pub" accommodation, the check-in was rather dry and lacking warmth (and we had to hunt around for someone to serve us). Past that, the room was clean, secure, comfortable, easy parking and in walking distance to the Salamanca and Battery Point sights. I'd happily re-book again.

A lovely, authentic pub
Absolutely loved staying at the Shipwright's Arms. A really characterful and charming place. The staff and service were great, as was the vibe in the pub downstairs. A perfect jumping-off point for exploring all that Hobart's amazing old town has to offer. Would definitely stay again.

I really enjoyed the wonderful waterviews while sitting in the sunroom having complimentary breakfast. The location was a bit noisy on the weekend because of the adjacent bar and restaurant. The food in the restaurant is fantastic!
