This is sixth trip since 1997 and always on a budget for about a month. Best thing to do is take package and then do own thing. Have found that Andrew at Bali.co.nz gives top service, has a ton of local knowledge and is most helpful. I'm only too happy to share my experiences and answer any questions if you'd like to email me. As a guide, myself, daughter and grandson are spending 5 nights at a hotel in Sanur and then 23 nights self-arranged. Travel and 5 nights including taxes and peripherals is $NZ3500 all up. On top of that we will have accommodation for 23 nights in Ubud which will work out at about $NZ145 each at current exchange rate. Hope this helps
