Yep, you're doing all you can. To be honest, as you seem to be aware, hiding SSID and filtering MACs only stops the very casual offender... having a strong WPA key is your best line of defence. The stronger it is, the longer it'd take to crack.

If you're feeling up to it, you could go to extremes and have a WPA Radius server, or you could use 802.1x authentication with EAP, but this is massive overkill and completely unnecessary.
