Oprah Winfrey's declared her love for New Zealand

Visiting celebrities are still enjoying our little slice of paradise in the South Pacific, with talk show queen Oprah Winfrey the latest to share her love for New Zealand.

Winfrey and fellow Hollywood stars Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling are in New Zealand to film Disney movie A Wrinkle in Time, and all three have gushed repeatedly on social media about the beauty of their dramatic Central Otago filming locations.

The latest was made by Winfrey to her 8.3 million Instagram followers late yesterday afternoon and shows her smiling in front of a sparkling Lake Hawea, 16 kilometres north-east of Wanaka.

"This is what I see on the the ride to work every morning. crystal blue Lake Hawea. #ilovenewzealand #WrinkleinTime," Winfrey wrote in a post that had received almost 75,000 likes and 1100 comments in two hours.

The 63-year-old billionaire had previously written about the film's stunning locations a day earlier, posting a photo that received 114,000 likes and 1600 comments.
