day however it really depends on what you want to do. If you're after high end spa's and restaurants and plan on drinking a lot of cocktails by the pool you will need more. If you're planning on shopping like mad this may not be enough. You will get @ IDR 860-870,000 for AUD $100 and you can easily get a nice lunch and dinner for @ IDR 200-300,000 per day (total cost), this will leave you enough for a mani/pedi, a massage or some shopping and things like water, soft drink etc. It's always a good idea to eat breakfast at your hotel to save on costs. I think if you're on a strict budget then you will not have any problems sticking to it so don't stress too much.
As for living 'like a queen' well that depends on your interpretation and your expectation. Every one has a different idea of 'living like a queen'.....mine would include a fancy day spa every day and that can cost in excess of AUD/USD $200-300 for a pamper package, which means if I had the money I would need @ $400 a day!! I budget for @ IDR 1,000,000 a day which is a little over $100 but I always have money left over at the end of my day which allows me to treat myself the next day on shopping or spas, happy travels, you will be fine :-)
