Access
The Sappi Stanger Bird Hide is situated on private land belonging to the paper company SAPPI. Birders are required to attend the visitors office, sign an indemnity form and get the keys for the birding hide. The office is occupied 24/7 and therefore visitors don't need to announce themselves, but can just come at any time.
