Reese Witherspoon, Oprah and Mindy Kaling have been giving their fans serious holiday envy as they enjoy a fun-filled road trip in New Zealand! The trio have been sharing a series of snaps from their adventures and giving their social media followers a sneak peek of their antics. So far their glamorous getaway has included a trip to Lake Hawea near Wanaka – where they are staying – as well as seeing local wildlife, sipping on wine in a hot tub and goofing around as they take in the breathtaking scenery.

It's not all fun and games for the actresses, who have travelled to New Zealand to film upcoming Disney film A Wrinkle in Time. Oprah will play Mrs Which, Reese Mrs Whatsit and Mindy Mrs Who in the highly-anticipated film, which also stars 13-year-old Storm Reid, Chris Pine and Gugu Mbatha-Raw.

We take a look at some of the best moments from their trip so far – but be warned, you may get a case of wanderlust!
