A South Otago woman who disappeared earlier in the week has been found alive and well.

Dianne Lane-Wright was last seen on Monday afternoon near her farm in the Bulls Creek and Chrystalls Beach area on Otago's southeast coast.

A police search found the 45-year-old about 11am on Thursday in a gully close to where her abandoned truck was discovered earlier this week.

Ms Lane-Wright was wearing the same clothes she was last seen in and despite being cold, wet and hungry, was considered to be in good health.
