Legacy

• The Stellenbosch University Student Center is named after him and is affectionately known as "Die Neelsie" ("The Neelsie").

• To celebrate the centenary of his birth, the South African Post Office issued a 4 cent C.J. Langenhoven stamp in 1973.
• Langenhoven is regarded as one of the most prolific and most versatile Afrikaans writers still today, his Collected Works comprising 16 volumes. He is also fondly remembered and referred to for his quirky personality.
• The place he and his family lived in, called the Arbeidsgenot, (meaning "the pleasure of work" or "the joy of labour") has been turned into a house museum. They lived there from 1901 until 1950.
