You can go off Tolley road. Park at the end of the road and there's a marked walking track going through farmers paddock to bush. The farmers up there are good sorts just don't stray off the track.
Waitamaroa road starts at the bennydale end and goes literally right through the middle of the north block to the top. This might be your best option if not coming down very often, we use to drive along the road until we saw some deer prints on the side of the road and go from.
