Living in Thorndon?

I will be moving from the UK with 2 friends/colleagues in January. We are all junior/resident doctors from the UK coming to live and work in Welly. We have found a potential place to rent for a while in Thorndon - just wondering what people found the area to be like? Have never been to Wellington before so not sure! I believe it’s pretty well linked to the hospital which will be useful, what is there to do in the area? Are there many cafes, bars, restaurants, shops, nightlife, nature attractions etc? Would appreciate any advice as to whether it’s a decent place to live for 3 mid-late 20s brits.
