I parked for 3 nights recently at the end of the gravel road/track that leads down to the Waimak from about 1.5km north of the bridge. No problems for me or any of the other cars I saw parked there.
Road has a few decent potholes so maybe the Chch bogans can't get down it with their lowered cars? People camp there too which I guess means dodgy buggers are more likely to get spotted.
Bonus is its a shorter walk up the valley from there too.
