I am off to Bali in may for my 8 trip in 10 years. Always take money from ATM never used a changer, pay VOA with $au and pay my hotel bill when leaving with MasterCard as they will give you your bill in rp and there is only 1 conversion to au. Never had a problem, never "lost" money and exchange rates have been within 1000-2000 rp so not a big difference for peace of mind. Also means you don't have to take over wads of cash. Just the way we do it - works for us. Stay at KP if that's any help!
