Laanhof at 26 The Avenue, is one of the Beyers houses.
These houses, situated from 16 to 32 Die Laan were built by Jan Marthinus Beyers (1832 - 1910).
He bought the land between Neethling Street and the Dwarslaan in 1881 and planted a vineyard on it.
Towards the end of the 19th century there was a shortage of housing in Stellenbosch and Jan Beyers saw this as an opportunity to build houses on his property, the present Van Riebeeck Street, Neethling Street and Die Laan.
Most of these houses have fortunately survived to the present day.
Hotel Laanhof is a top-class hotel in Stellenbosch, Western cape .
