I have a feeling that it might be Australian school holidays at that time. That means it might be a little busier than usual but I shouldn't imagine that it will be too bad. As far as the weather goes, it is quite a pleasant time to be there and places like Lovina won't have too much rain. I really enjoy Bali, there are some who think it's okay or not so good - it depends on your taste and outlook on life. I wouldn't go and stay at Kuta necessarily, you might find one of the smaller beach areas like Lovina, Padangbai or Ahmed more suited to your tastes (unless you were planning lots of nightclub expeditions!). Definitely go to Ubud, it is very pleasant, you can go a bit out of Ubud and pretend to immerse yourself in the place or hang out closer to town and enjoy the cafes and shopping.
