The Kifiru rooms are definately big enough for 4.
Matthecat, we absolutely LOVE the place. There is nowhere else I know of where the kids can get such an up close and personal experience with the animals. They spend ages (ours were 4 and 6 when we first took them) playing with the baby lion or tiger, whichever is out for a pat. We have seen the 'kittens' heaps of times and they are more active early morning and late afternoon. Many are concerned that the animals are drugged, but lions actually sleep about 20 hours a day, so aren't very active during the day anyway. We have had good wrestles with a baby lion and I got a swipe from a frisky tiger in April - awesome! The boys love feeding the elephants, so take at least 160 000 RP with you for carrots - you'll go thru about 4 bunches each!!
If you stay the night, do the night safari - it is fantastic. You might want to do 2 safaris and it's also a great way to see what the park has to offer, so I would do them fairly early in the day.
Tsavo restaurant is lovely and you get to see the lions up close (and the meerkats). If you think you will be having lunch/dinner there, book the day before at least and ask for a window seat. You can have lunch at the foodcourt which is cheaper than Tsavo, but I think we were about $8 for pasta and $10 for a pizza, so it's expensive by Bali standards, but still cheap by Aus standards.
They will want to go to the water park and you can swim away half an hour or a couple of hours here.
Definately go to the souvenier shop. The one by the barong village is bigger. The stuffed toys are really cheap - we brought home an orangutan the size of my 5 year old for $20ish. He sleeps with his tiger and komodo dragon - they were about $6 each.
