Questions about Sydney

I will be in Sydney for about 4-5 days at the end of November. Can anyone suggest a hostel that is not going to be full of partyers? I had thought about Eva's Backpackers, does anyone have any other suggestions?

Also, are there any beaches in Sydney that have good snorkelling right off the shore?

The YHA hostels (3 of them in Sydney) are not party hostels.

You'll find good snorkelling right off the shore at both Clovelly and Fairlight beaches

Cabbage tree bay aquatic reserve is right off Shelly beach in Manly

If you go to YouTube and type in Cabbage Tree Bay you'll see plenty of vids of what you can expect

Keep in mind Sydney isn't prime snorkeling like the Whitsundays or anything - you do see some cool fish and a few bits and pieces, but don't want you to be disappointed if you're expecting vibrant coral or tropical fish or anything ;)

I second ozziegiraffe with the YHA hostels - they're very basic, but do the trick for a fair price.
