Police are trying to establish how a woman died at a home at Lake Rotoma.

Officers were called to a home on the eastern shores of the lake about 12.30pm on Saturday.

A police spokeswoman said "someone called saying they hadn't seen her [the woman] since Christmas. There's no indication it's suspicious however the formalities are ongoing."
