In terms of safety, like anywhere, you just need to use commonsense. Any Bali brochure should show you the temperature range for each month - it doesn't change greatly throughout the year, but December is the wet season so you can count on getting some rain, although it is still warm. Booking from Perth in WA, it is generally cheaper to book the accommodation as part of a package, and I would assume it would be the same for you too.
Suitable accommodation would depend on many things - are your children in their early or late teens - do you want to stay "in the thick" of things, or somewhere quieter, etc
Have a great holiday !!
