Is 1000 AUD enough for a week in Bali?

Rent a bike and drive around instead of getting a driver or cab, 1000 would be more than enough. I budgeted AU$100 per person per day - but ended up spending only about 2/3 of that - and that was with plenty of activities, shopping, and eating at nice restaurants. It really depends on your own personal situation!
